We already knew the south western city of Bordeaux had a lot going for it.
A recent survey of top-earning Parisians found that 56 percent of them would head to Bordeaux to start a new life if they ever left Paris – putting it well ahead of any other French city.



British writer Scott Gilmour has called Bordeaux home for over ten years but says many people are now “apprehensive” about how life could change.
“With property prices shooting up, there is a fear that the average man on the street will be priced out of the city. Whilst the prospect of being able to reach Paris in just a couple of hours is exciting, it is also now a paradise for property developers,” Gilmour says.
Nevertheless he says Bordeaux has been great place to live for several years now and offers superb quality of life.
