Where to stay in Bacalan
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
The église Notre-Dame-du-Lac de Ginko is one of the few named points in Bacalan, and the record that lists it lists no hotel, hostel or guest room anywhere inside the quarter. Bordeaux keeps the beds. Visitors with a booking at Kart System or a fixture at the stade Charles Martin can reasonably base themselves out here and travel in for everything else. Beyond the Ginko church and the kart track, Bacalan's register runs out.

About Bacalan
What are the main landmarks in Bacalan?
Four names, no more. Bacalan's entries run to the église Notre-Dame-du-Lac de Ginko, the stade Charles Martin, the terrains de sports de Labarde and Kart System, which between them cover worship, sport and karting and leave the rest of the quarter unlisted. Bordeaux holds the remainder.
What Bacalan offers instead is open ground, and a visitor drawn out here by the karting or by a fixture at the stade Charles Martin finds the reason for the trip inside its own boundaries.
What is the history of Bacalan?
Bacalan comes to the record without a date. The sources give the quarter its place inside Bordeaux and its extent on the ground, then stop short of any founding, charter or turning point that could be set against the name. That silence is the fact.
Only the buildings speak, and what they give are names rather than years: the église Notre-Dame-du-Lac de Ginko, the stade Charles Martin, the terrains de sports de Labarde and Kart System.
Where is Bacalan?
Some 5.7 square kilometres of Bordeaux fall to Bacalan, ground wide enough to take the terrains de sports de Labarde and Kart System.
