Property hotspots in Bordeaux
The centre of Bordeaux, with its environmentally-friendly tram system, traditional 18th century architecture and contemporary landmarks is surprisingly small compared to other French cities. Renowned for its “village feel”, property in the centre of this city is very much in demand.
In terms of where to buy, Chartrons, the “Golden Triangle” (a location bounded by Cours Georges Clemenceau, Cours de l’Intendance and Allées de Tourny), Jardin Public, Fondaudège and Parc Bordelais are some of the most sought after locations in Bordeaux.
Mansion in Chartrons
Le “quartier de Chartrons” runs to the Cours du Médoc in the north and rue Fondaudège to the south. Property here was built on an old Carthusian monastery, translating as Chartreux in French, which later became Chartrons. It was the location of choice for European merchants who built beautiful homes here.
This stunning house is located in the heart of Chartrons (HH-9245025) and has been fully renovated to a high standard. It is close to the shops and the city’s tram line, and the Garonne’s docks are just a ten-minute walk away. With six bedrooms this property could work well as a family home, although it is currently run as a successful B&B. In terms of outdoor space there is a pretty patio and a rooftop terrace with views over the city. This property is on the market for €968,000.
Apartment in the city centre
This exceptional four-bedroom apartment (HH-9337471) is located on the third floor in a property hotspot in Bordeaux’s centre.
