The Caudéran neighborhood has its own distinct identity, with a very “village-like” feel; it was an independent municipality until February 22, 1965. The plots here are generous, providing ideal playgrounds for children.
The neighborhood is home to two excellent private schools (Sainte Marie Grand Lebrun and Tivoli) and is centered around the famous Parc Bordelais.
This 28-hectare park was inaugurated in 1888. Before the land was purchased by Captain Franck Cutler in 1864, it was occupied by vineyards and woods. It was bought by the city of Bordeaux in 1882.
Camille Godard bequeathed part of his fortune so that the city could plant magnificent trees there. Eugène Bühler was responsible for organizing this vast park, which has become the green lung of this highly sought-after neighborhood.
The buildings lining the streets of Caudéran are varied, but never detract from the overall coherence of the neighborhood. It is a neighborhood of houses designed by renowned architects, renovated or renovating chartreuses, and beautiful single or double shops.
Today, the schools also contribute to the excellent reputation of this decidedly family-friendly neighborhood.
