Guide to Gironde and Property in Department 33
The Natural Beauty of Gironde
Inland Gironde is a bounty for foodies and wine lovers. The famous vineyard regions of Médoc, Pomerol, Saint-Emilion and Sauternes are located here, and the area is punctuated by ancient towns with castles, citadels, churches and historic fortifications.Chateaux and Culinary Delights
Thanks to its wine heritage, Bordeaux boasts some spectacular châteaux, many of which have been converted into elegant luxury homes and boutique hotels. Others remain neglected, awaiting purchase and restoration. Local restaurants feature the newest seasonal ingredients, such as juicy, ripe tomatoes from Marmande, delicate asparagus from Blaye, and the renowned cepes mushrooms. Seafood enthusiasts come here to enjoy fresh oysters from the Atlantic coast.Access and Transport Links
Bordering on the departments of Landes, Lot-et-Garonne, Dordogne and Charente-Maritime, the Gironde spans an area of 10,000 square kilometres. Its capital, Bordeaux, is well connected to the UK, Europe and the rest of the world thanks to its large international airport, which welcomes over 737,500 travellers each month. Bordeaux is also easily accessible by train, with a high-speed TGV link, so the journey to Paris takes just over 2 hours.Cultural Renaissance in Bordeaux
Bordeaux itself is a cultural city that has experienced a renaissance in recent years, retaining its historic charm while embracing a cosmopolitan feel. The Chartrons business district is a hive of activity midweek, but the bustle is tempered by the aristocratic architecture and sophisticated wine bars and restaurants. The city’s Rue Sainte Catherine is the main focus for shopping and high street fashion, with the Triangle-d’Or area offering something a little more upmarket.A Diverse Range of Properties
The Gironde offers a superb range of properties, from city-centre lofts and centrally located apartments in beautifully converted stone buildings to rural barns, village houses, characteristic flat-fronted Girondine houses, and beach villas and chalets.Key Information about the Gironde (33)
