About the Hotel

Rooftop restaurant at Hotel Indigo Bordeaux for France Off the Beaten Path Tour. This design-led boutique hotel is located in the central Chartrons district of historical downtown Bordeaux, a picturesque neighborhood just a short stroll from the Garonne River. Hotel Indigo is one of the only hotel brands that delivers a beautiful neighborhood perspective. At Hotel Indigo Bordeaux – Centre Chartrons – with its colorful address, the nearby Bassin d’Arcachon bay on the Atlantic coast with its beachside hues, the famous Dune du Pilat and its authentic oyster huts all serve as design traits throughout the hotel. Much more than just a destination, the hotel’s rooms are unique, as is the cuisine of the rooftop restaurant, Tchanqué.

Hotel Indigo is more than just a hotel-it’s a gateway to the vibrant neighborhoods it calls home. When you stay at Hotel Indigo Bordeaux, you’re not just visiting a place but becoming a part of the Chartrons district. Immerse yourself in the local culture, discover hidden gems, and experience the true essence of Bordeaux.

Specifically for Hotel Indigo Bordeaux, the neighborhood of Chartrons is named after a medieval charterhouse and has lived a million lives since. Once a meeting place for the great wine merchants, today it’s a popular spot for locals and connoisseurs of design and antiques. The Chartrons’ main street, Rue Notre-Dame, is home to numerous restaurants with sunny terraces, wine bars, and some of Bordeaux’s best bakeries. There are also boutiques selling accessories, bohemian chic fashion, handmade goods, and local gourmet products.

Every detail, every room in the hotel, has been carefully thought out by designer Stella Cadente. The designer uses her choice of materials and colors to tell the story of a family vacation in a guest house on the Arcachon Basin. Each room is an invitation to imagination and family memories. With its warm, reassuring yellow tones, the “Pilat” guest room recalls sunny afternoons spent on the sandy dunes. The “Sunset” room, with its orange and coral colors, refers to the sunsets people watch together nearby.

DAILY BREAKFAST : Enjoy a Bordelaise breakfast at our Bordeaux Tour hotel each morning before we head out for a day of fun excursions. The breakfast features all of the traditional French goodies-croissants, pain au chocolat (chocolate croissants), pain au raisins (raisin croissants), fresh baguette breads, an assortiment of breakfast breads, fresh fruit salad, yoghurts, a variety of cereals to choose from.

A WORD FROM Our Guests:

Exceeded Our Expectations!

“This trip to the Loire Valley exceeded our expectations! Christy planned unique and interesting excursions and activities that highlighted the beauty of the area and provided in-depth background knowledge about the various chateaux we visited. The cooking classes with renowned chefs, held in their restaurants and homes, were never-to-be forgotten experiences, and the visit to the winery was a highlight. The hotel was delightful and charming, and staying in one location for the entire time was a treat. Every meal or cocktail hour was planned to highlight the delicious specialties of the region. Christy is extremely knowledgeable about the various places we visited and imparted that knowledge in an interesting and entertaining manner. She and Remi took great care to ensure that we were always comfortable and well-looked after. We could not have asked for a better trip!” — Ron Rose & Sharon Matsumoto (Have done Provence tour and Loire Valley tour)

This was my third trip in the same number of years

“This was my third trip in the same number of years with Christy and Off the Beaten Path. While on her trips you can tell how much effort there is on the off season to make every single week perfect. From the pick up at the train station to the teary goodbye at the airport, everything is perfectly planned and executed. The hotel in St. Remy is magical, and the tour guides Philippe and David are exceptional. If you are considering a trip with OTBP, go for it and come home with new friends, a love of Provence and a longing to return as soon as you can!” — Beth Bower (Has done Provence tour twice and Loire Valley tour)

The Best Tour Company!

“I have done two tours – Provence and Loire Valley – and I am already looking forward to booking another. The tours are all perfectly curated and Christy is a wealth of knowledge. She is so kind and takes all of your needs and wants into consideration. I cannot recommend Off the Beaten Path enough!” — Madison Carl (Has done Provence and Loire Valley tours)

“We did the Provence tour. 8/2019. I had taken the tour 2017 & this time my husband came with me. It was just as fabulous this time as it was in 2017. Restaurants, picnic, sights, wine, all of it just delightful, but the frosting on the cake is a the knowledge, insight, humor, & attention to detail from David & Philippe. To us, they make a great trip soooo much fun. (also, 3 of our neighbors joined us this tour). Don’t hesitate, take this tour & enjoy!!!!!” — Jim & Carol Dean (Carol has done Provence tour twice)

Returning to Provence with France Off the Beaten Path

“I wanted to return to Provence as soon as it was open. I had toured with Christy in Loire Valley in 2019 and knew I wanted to travel with her again. For the second time, everything was well organized, personal and definitely off the beaten path. Christy and Phillippe have a wealth of knowledge and are eager to share. The hotel was perfectly located in St Remy, the tours to the lavender and sunflower fields are my favorite memory. The lunches and dinners were like visiting friends. The boat tour in Cassis was another highlight. Even though I had visited Provence, this trip with France Off the Beaten Path brought a new appreciation for the area.” — Susan Gage (Has done Loire Valley tour, Provence tour, Champagne tour)

“We had an excellent tour with Christie and her crew in the Loire valley. We did things that only a true insider would have access to-dinner at a Michelin chefs house, helping/learning to cook at a highly rated restaurant in their kitchen. This was in addition to seeing the sights and touring the castles. A truly unique experience that is off the beaten path. We will use her again when going back to France.” — Karen Berner (Has done Loire Valley tour)
