Bordeaux is one of Europe’s finest cities to live and work in. It is
sill unarguably the wine capital of the world and rests as a cultural
centre dominating South West France. It is therefore of little
surprise that one can also find some wonderful french property for
sale and investments in this corner of France.
Located less than an hour from the Atlantic coast and the chic resort
of Arcachon with it well-known marina, a little over two hours from
the Spanish border and about the same from the mountain ski resorts in
the Pyrenees, Bordeaux offers a fantastic and attractive place to live
and a vibrant life style. Bordeaux can say with some pride that it is
a city that works but also one that is a pleasure to live in.
Bordeaux has not lost its splendor in the modern age, displaying a
fine number of historically recognized monuments and highly ornate
gothic cathedrals with their towering spires. Many of which are lit up
at night, displaying their beauty and creating a desirable ambience
across the city. Three of the monuments in Bordeaux are also honored
and justly so, as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.
With magnificent 18th century buildings distinguished by their
classical facades and grand squares (one of them is perhaps the
largest in Western Europe), Bordeaux is very much a living city,
offering a modern infrastructure and transport system to its
inhabitants - it has been unafraid of change. As such, Bordeaux
remains in renaissance with major investments recently made in a new
tram system, high speed internet, cycle ways and a complete renovation
of the docks and quaysides along the river Garonne. The city now
buzzes with bars, restaurants, cafes, chic boutiques and a highly
recommendable nightlife. And as a result, the rejuvenation has
produced an attractive market for investors with double-digit gains in
Bordeaux property prices for the last 5 years.
With a far-sighted program of redevelopment, the River Garonne is once
again incorporated into the heart of the city. It no longer acts as an
economic barrier between the right and left banks of the river. The
quays on both sides of the river have become the setting for such
noteworthy events as the F?te du Fleuve (River Festival) and F?te le
Vin (Wine Festival). Furthermore, major cruise liners with eager
tourists regularly dock at the Port de la Lune, right in the heart of
Bordeaux.
Bordeaux is twinned with ten large cities, notably; Munich, Bristol,
Madrid and Porto. The city has taken its place on the international
stage and has become a major venue for conferences and trade fairs.
Moreover, Bordeaux has become a place of interest for property
developers and those wishing to live in this vibrant city; a city that
is a credit to its inhabitants who can be rightly proud of it.
