To find your apartment in Bordeaux, you obviously have to choose its location. We advise you to check the proximity of your accommodation to your place of work or study, the metro station... and the neighborhoods that attract you!
The Golden Triangle, the most prestigious district
The Golden Triangle was formed in the 18th century around the Notre-Dame church. This district was born thanks to the architect Chalifour in 1790. It is the most prestigious district of Bordeaux. It is considered the most beautiful area of the city. It is bounded by the Cours de l'Intendance, the Allées de Tourny and the Cours George Clémenceau.
The district has many squares: Place des Grands Hommes, Place Gambetta, Place de Tourny and Place de la Comédie. It concentrates beautiful architecture, historical monuments and works of art. The Grand Théâtre which houses the Opéra National de Bordeaux is the work of Victor Louis, a famous architect. It is a very lively sector, very lively thanks to the Great Men market. The Golden Triangle gives access to the assets of the other surrounding districts such as the lively evenings of Place de la Victoire, the calm of the Esplanade des Quinconces and other places to discover. The golden triangle is also very well served by public transport.
Living in this district has a fairly high cost, indeed it is one of the most popular districts of Bordeaux but also one of the most expensive!
The Saint-Pierre district, the cradle of Bordeaux
The district is considered the cradle of Bordeaux, it is one of the oldest districts of the city. Its existence dates back to the 12th century.
Place Saint-Pierre corresponds to the location of the old entrance to the inner port, which will give its name to the district. Porte Cailhau is an emblematic place in the district, 35 meters high and built in the 15th century. The Place de la Bourse, a huge work of art, is reflected in its water mirror. The district offers its inhabitants a rich cultural life.
Don't miss the Saint-Pierre church built during the 16th century. It also has several schools (nursery, primary, middle and high school), perfect for families. Dynamic district, ideal for going out and enjoying life in Bordeaux. Saint-Pierre is very much alive. It is near the quays of the Garonne. Rue Saint-Rémi is a place where a multitude of restaurants reside. Calm reigns in the neighborhood thanks to its many pedestrian streets and reduced car traffic. But the district remains very well served by public transport but also by bike! The prices are quite high due to the attractiveness of the neighborhood.
