Moving to Bordeaux is an exciting new chapter.

Finding the right home, however, can quickly become one of the most stressful parts of your relocation.

If you are moving to Bordeaux from another French city or from abroad, you may face several challenges:

• A highly competitive rental market
• Limited availability
• French rental procedures that can be difficult to understand
• Documents you may not be familiar with

• Very short response times when a suitable property becomes available

Why Bordeaux?

Bordeaux is one of France's most attractive cities for international residents.

Located in south-western France, the city offers an exceptional combination of:

• Quality of life
• International business opportunities
• Universities and renowned schools
• Cultural heritage
• Gastronomy
• Wine
• Atlantic coast access
• Excellent transport connections
• A dynamic economy

Bordeaux is particularly attractive to professionals working in technology, aerospace, healthcare, wine, tourism, consulting, finance and many other sectors.

The city also attracts thousands of international students every year.

This attractiveness has an obvious consequence:

The rental market is highly competitive.

Why finding a rental in Bordeaux can be difficult for international tenants

The French rental market has its own rules and procedures.

For someone arriving from another country, the process can be difficult to navigate.

Landlords and agencies may request:

• Identification documents
• Proof of income
• Employment contract
• Tax documents
• Proof of address
• Guarantor information
• Bank details
• Additional supporting documents

For international applicants, some of these documents may not yet exist.

You may have just arrived in France.

You may not yet have a French tax return.

You may not have a French bank account.

You may be starting a new job.

You may be relocating your entire family.

This is where professional assistance can make a significant difference.

A rental search designed around your situation

At GD Chasseur Immo Bordeaux, we do not simply send you property listings.

We first take the time to understand your project.

We discuss:

Your professional situation

Where will you work?

What is your expected start date?

How often will you commute?

Do you need easy access to the airport, train station or business districts?

Your family

Are you moving alone?

As a couple?

With children?

Do you need nearby schools?

Your lifestyle

Would you prefer:

• Bordeaux city centre?
• A quiet residential neighbourhood?
• A family-friendly suburb?
• Easy access to public transport?
• A house with a garden?
• A furnished apartment?
• A high-end property?

Your budget

We help you define a realistic rental budget based on the current Bordeaux market.

We search across Bordeaux and its metropolitan area

The right location is not necessarily in Bordeaux city centre.

Depending on your professional and personal requirements, we may recommend areas such as:

Bordeaux Centre

Ideal for people who want to enjoy city life, restaurants, culture, shopping and walking access to many amenities.

Les Chartrons

A highly desirable neighbourhood known for its architecture, cafés, restaurants, shops and atmosphere.

Popular with professionals and international residents.

Caudéran

A quieter and more residential area, particularly suitable for families looking for houses, gardens and a more peaceful environment.

Le Bouscat

A popular residential municipality immediately north of Bordeaux.

Excellent for families and professionals who want a high quality of life while remaining close to the city.

Talence

Particularly attractive for students, academics and employees working around the university campus.

Pessac

A strong choice for university students, families and professionals working in the south-western part of the metropolitan area.

Mérignac

Furnished or unfurnished apartment?

• Relocating from abroad
• Coming to Bordeaux for a fixed-term assignment
• Starting a new position
• An international student
• Waiting for a permanent home
• Moving with limited luggage

You can move in immediately without having to purchase furniture.

Unfurnished properties

• Family apartments
• Houses
• Townhouses

• Public transport
• Schools
• Commute times
• Shops
• Local services
• Family-friendly areas
• Access to Bordeaux airport

Our role is to help you find the right home in the right location, rather than simply finding an available property.
