The grand city of Bordeaux stands on the Garonne River in the department of Gironde, Northern Aquitaine. Known throughout the world for its fine wines, the city and its surrounding countryside are a magnet for tourists who come to experience this most alluring part of France. Bordeaux is popular with French property hunters too. The city's international airport provides excellent access to the region for those who wish to view Bordeaux property at a moment's notice.
Bordeaux oozes historic charm from almost every corner. Many fine examples of medieval and renaissance style architecture can be seen around the city, and there are no shortage of bars, cafes and restaurants at which you can sample local French cuisine - as well as the famous Bordeaux wines! Bordeaux is also well known for its excellent shopping facilities, which can rival the shopping districts of Paris and Nice.
Bordeaux property along the Garonne is much in demand. Buyers are likely to pay a premium for waterfront property, as well as for French property in the Medoc wine-growing region. Less expensive property can be found in the countryside to the east and south-east of Bordeaux, away from the main tourist areas. A 4-bed villa in France south of St Foy la Grande for instance will cost in the region of 230,000 euros.
