When you have no washing machine at home:

Studios, small flats, student housing, temporary accommodation: many households live perfectly well without a washing machine — provided there is a good laundrette nearby. In a residential area like Le Burck, between Mérignac and Pessac, it is a genuine everyday service, close to home and with a car park for those who come by car.

The maths is quickly done: no machine to buy, find room for or maintain, and the whole week's laundry washed and dried in one visit, for a few euros.

When the machine at home is no longer enough:

Even with a machine, you regularly need something bigger: duvets and blankets, curtains, sofa covers, sleeping bags, or the avalanche of laundry after a holiday. The large drums of a laundrette settle in one visit what your washing machine would take a week to absorb.

A laundrette also saves the day when everything goes wrong: a broken machine, a house move, a water leak, guests turning up. There is always a free machine and a fast dryer.

For local professionals:

Guest houses and holiday lets, bed and breakfasts, hair and beauty salons, cafés and restaurants, associations and sports clubs in Mérignac and Pessac: all of them have laundry to wash regularly — sheets, towels, tablecloths, uniforms — without wanting to invest in their own laundry room.

A laundrette offers them large capacity in self-service, wide opening hours 7 days a week and a controlled cost, with the car park in front of the door to load and unload easily.
