When in Bordeaux...
Chateau Soussac (www.chateau-soussac.com) is an hour from Bordeaux and Bergerac Airports and it is hoped the new Ryanair service from Cork to Bordeaux in June will increase business for the hotel.
Rates start at €124 for a double room and a three night package (bed, breakfast and two nights dinner) is available from between €240 and €300 per person depending on choice of bedroom – there are only five. A pick-up/drop-off service is offered by the hotel from airports or rail stations in Bordeaux, Bergerac or Toulouse. Additional charge for this.
