33 Gironde
Region: Nouvelle-Aquitaine
Gironde is France’s largest department and one of its most celebrated, thanks to the world-renowned Bordeaux wine region, a thriving Atlantic coastline, and the sophisticated city of Bordeaux itself. It offers a rare blend of urban flair, coastal charm, and vineyard tranquillity.
Bordeaux, the capital, is a UNESCO-listed gem with neoclassical architecture, lively riverfront quays, fine dining, and a youthful cultural scene. Beyond Bordeaux, towns like Libourne, Blaye, and Lesparre-Médoc serve as gateways to famous wine areas such as Saint-Émilion, Pomerol, and Médoc.
To the west, the Atlantic coast beckons with dunes, surfing beaches, and oyster ports—Arcachon and the Dune du Pilat are spectacular summer destinations. The Bassin d’Arcachon is a chic retreat, while Cap Ferret offers high-end coastal living.
Properties range from Haussmannian apartments in Bordeaux to wine châteaux, village maisons de maître, and coastal villas. Whether for investment, lifestyle, or wine-loving retirement, Gironde is a flagship destination.
