HOUSE for sale in BORDEAUX - 33000

The administrative seat of the Aquitaine region, Bordeaux is known and acclaimed worldwide for the quality of its vineyards. Though it is not merely to be equated with fine wines ; in itself alone, Bordeaux is a city that symbolizes the fine art of living "à la française". Gastronomy, high-quality living conditions, unique scenery…, it is undoubtedly this winning combination that guarantees the town's success.

The typical Bordelais house, an appealing property

Giving priority to proximity to the hyper-centre, the quality of schools, and easy access offered by public transport, a good number of families choose to acquire their homes in the neighbourhoods of La Croix-Blanche and Saint-Severin. In Fondandèges, a few rare town houses also continue to appeal to buyers who appreciate its friendly atmosphere, rather like that of a village. Otherwise, Bordeaux Caudéran, which boasts the city's largest public park, proposes a more residential property market where "échoppes" play an important part. Over in Saint Genès, south of Bordeaux and traditionally home to the upper middle-class, one also finds a good number of private mansions and "échoppes" of genuine character.
