Where to stay in Chartrons
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Quai des Chartrons is the address to know. A room in this quarter of Bordeaux puts the Musée du vin et du négoce de Bordeaux, the Musée de l'Histoire Maritime de Bordeaux and the Muséum d'histoire naturelle de Bordeaux inside the same walk, which is the case for sleeping here rather than in the wider city. Saint-Louis-des-Chartrons stands nearby.
Anyone wanting green space and a pool has the parc de l'Ermitage and the piscine du grand parc de Bordeaux on the same ground.

About Chartrons
What are the main landmarks in Chartrons?
Museums cluster here. Chartrons carries the Muséum d'histoire naturelle de Bordeaux, the Musée de l'Histoire Maritime de Bordeaux and the Musée du vin et du négoce de Bordeaux, three collections inside one quarter. Churches follow.
Saint-Louis-des-Chartrons, the temple des Chartrons and the Église orthodoxe grecque de Bordeaux are all entered on the record, and so is the amphitheatre of Bordeaux, along with the Maison hollandaise at 28 quai des Chartrons.
What is the history of Chartrons?
A monastery started the quarter. Carthusian friars founded a convent outside the walls in 1381, a suburb grew up around it, and the quarter took its name from them. The Musée du vin et du négoce de Bordeaux fixes wine and commerce to the quarter by title alone, and the Musée de l'Histoire Maritime de Bordeaux sets shipping beside it.
The Maison hollandaise names a second country. Its address at 28 quai des Chartrons, with Saint-Louis-des-Chartrons and the temple des Chartrons in the same quarter, shows how far that name spread.
Where is Chartrons?
The quai des Chartrons, the parc de l'Ermitage and the piscine du grand parc de Bordeaux all fall inside Chartrons, a quarter of Bordeaux.
