After the opening of its Parisian flagship in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, then its deployment in Lyon in 2025, Engel & Völkers France is continuing its expansion in the region by setting up in Bordeaux (33), capital of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Entrusted to Valéria Plaisance, the launch of this new establishment will also cover the Arcachon Bay as well as the hinterland with its surrounding vineyards. The group thus confirms its position as a key player in the luxury real estate market.
With a growing demand for high-end real estate, the city of Bordeaux, recognized for its rich heritage and quality of life, is attracting more and more investors looking for exceptional properties. Bordeaux is positioned as one of the most sought-after cities on the French market, with prices varying between €3,800 and €8,000 /m2 for the most sought-after properties.
« The deployment of this new location in Bordeaux is part of our growth strategy in the most promising French markets, combining economic attractiveness, quality of life and exceptional wealth of heritage. I am pleased to entrust the development of this new territory to Valéria, whose expertise in high-end real estate, entrepreneurial energy and human values are fully in line with the group’s DNA. This agency will quickly become a reference for clients in search of excellence ” says Christophe Michel, President of Engel & Völkers France.
The Bordeaux luxury real estate market represents an excellent option for investors for a patrimonial investment with a long-term valuation, whether for the purchase of a primary or secondary residence or a rental investment.
In Bordeaux, the Golden Triangle is the heart of the prestigious market, mixing Haussmannian apartments and rare eighteenth-century mansions. The Chartrons, Jardin Public and Saint-Seurin districts, prized for their character and neighbourhood life, attract families and professionals looking for a living environment combining authenticity and proximity to amenities.
Beyond the city, the teams cover the entire territory and its hinterland. On the Bay of Arcachon, Cap Ferret is one of the most sought-after seaside destinations in France (average price: €12,578 /m2), where confidential villas and properties on the waterfront seduce a wealthy clientele looking for an exceptional second home. To the east, the Saint-Émilion vineyards, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Entre-deux-Mers sector offer wine castles, character properties and estates: rare assets attracting both lovers of the art of living and international investors.
With several years of experience in prestigious real estate, Valéria Plaisance took over the management of the agency in order to structure the establishment in the sector. Its team, already composed of 5 advisors, is responsible for prospecting potential sellers while offering advice and services from Engel & Völkers France.
« Bordeaux and its region form a rare place: a remarkable heritage, an architecture that cannot be found anywhere else, and a clientele that expects as much discretion as expertise. Here, everything remains to be built, and that’s what drives me. I would like to thank Christophe Michel for his trust » concludes Valéria Plaisance, Director of Engel & Völkers Bordeaux.
