Bordeaux’s Port of the Moon remains a fortress of value, where strict UNESCO preservation mandates have effectively capped new supply, driving buy prices to a resilient average of €4,900/m². Despite broader economic cooling, the historic core is seeing a surge in high-end heritage renovations as investors pivot from new-build volume to long-term equity in stone assets. The rental sector, currently at €17.85/m², remains incredibly tight due to 'encadrement des loyers' (rent control) and a lack of secondary market turnover. Verdict: This is a low-volatility haven for capital preservation, ideal for those prioritizing architectural prestige over immediate high-yield returns.
