Bordeaux Property Description
Bordeaux is undoubtedly most famous worldwide for its superb wines. It is the capital of the region known as Aquitaine and is a major cultural centre and a transportation hub between southern France and Spain.
The elegant city is rich in history, culture, arts, music, legendary wines and gastronomy. It is not only the fine wines capital of the world but also a vibrant centre of trade, industry, services and business.
The city centre is known for its neoclassic architecture and wide avenues, which over recent years have undergone a major investment programme to include cleaning up the building facades and renovating the quayside, to make a fashionable restaurant and bar district. A state of the art tram system is now operating in the city, which has reduced traffic congestion and left the city centre pedestrianised and easy to navigate.
Bordeaux is a fantastic showcase for Romanesque, gothic and Renaissance art displayed in museums, churches, forts, galleries, mansions, gardens and public walkways and buildings.
This superb apartment is located in the heart of the city on the fashionable Rue des Remparts. This pedestrianised street is situated between the prestigious shopping street 'Cours de l'Intendance' and the city's fine Cathedral 'St. André'. Rue des Remparts offers a smart selection of bistro restaurants, cafés, boutique clothes and jeweler's shops, art galleries and specialised gift shops.
Situated on the second floor of a bourgeois 'pierre de taille' (cut local stone) 19th. Century building. In recent years the apartment has been fully renovated to make the most of its original features and superb aspect overlooking the street below. The main living room is over 50m˛ with original wooden floors, high ceilings, a marble fireplace and 3 exquisite cast iron 'Juliette' balconies, a perfect spot to watch the city come to life, as the nearby cafés prepare their tables for another busy day...
To the rear of the living room, a corridor connects to two separate comfortable double bedrooms and a modern bathroom.
The apartment is currently rented out on short term lets and turns over more than €20,000 per year. Internal viewing is strongly recommended.
