Apartments with terrace or balcony, and townhouses, overlooking the Jardin Public

The apartments for sale here are most often found on these noble floors: generous proportions, fine antique parquet flooring, marble fireplaces, and sometimes a terrace or balcony opening onto the treetops of the park. A direct view over the Jardin Public remains one of the most sought-after outlooks in Bordeaux. For properties without a view, the immediate proximity to the park and the quiet of the surrounding streets are already a real asset. Discover our luxury apartments in Bordeaux.

Townhouses, private mansions and bourgeois échoppes near the Jardin Public

Around the park and not far from Rue Fondaudège, the district also has fine townhouses: bourgeois houses in dressed stone over two or three stories, tastefully renovated double échoppes, and occasionally a discreet private mansion behind its porch. Almost all of them have a walled garden or a planted courtyard.

This is an area sought after by families: the schools, the Muséum, and the park are all within walking distance, and the Chartrons with its small shops are just a few steps away. So is the Quais market. As with apartments, what gives a house its value here is the address, the aspect, and the presence of a genuine outdoor space, more than sheer square footage. We regularly sell this type of property: see our townhouses and private mansions in Bordeaux.

Your day in the heart of the exclusive Jardin Public district ...

• 8:00 a.m.: brisk walk or jog in the heart of the Jardin Public park.
• 9:00 a.m.: coffee and croissant on the terrace of the Orangerie or to go (stop by Fran's, they're lovely!)
• 11:00 a.m.: stroll around the edge of the neighborhood, between Rue Notre Dame, Les Chartrons, or Rue Fondaudège, and discover all the little food shops ... a real treat.
• 3:00 p.m.: visit the Natural History Museum or the nearby CAPC (Bordeaux Museum of Contemporary Art, housed in a former warehouse dating from 1824, formerly the « Entrepôt réel des denrées coloniales de Bordeaux », located on Rue Ferrère). The three-story building is remarkable and uses only three materials: Bourg stone, clay bricks, and reclaimed wood (Oregon pine).
• 8:00 p.m.: dinner with friends and a walk back under the streetlights of the magnificent Cours Xavier Arnozan (named after a famous and influential Bordeaux doctor from the early 20th century, formerly known as « Cours Pavé des Chartrons »).

Curious to compare with other parts of the city? We've gathered our take on Bordeaux's different districts.

Where is the Jardin Public district located in Bordeaux?

North of the historic center, around the Jardin Public itself – the park it's named after – between the Chartrons, Place des Quinconces, and the banks of the Garonne. The Triangle and the Grand Théâtre are less than a fifteen-minute walk away.

Apartment or house: what's for sale around the Jardin Public?

Mostly apartments in the blond-stone buildings of the 18th century, sometimes on the noble floor, with a wrought-iron balcony or a view over the park. But also bourgeois townhouses, handsome private mansions, and renovated échoppes, almost always with a walled garden.

Why is this district so popular with families?

Because everything here can be reached on foot: the schools, the Muséum, the park for a morning run, the small shops on Rue Notre Dame and Rue Fondaudège, the Sunday market on the Quais. And because life here is still lived quietly, with a certain calm elegance and beautiful light, while staying just steps from the center.
