Bordeaux applies the 90-day limit since January 1, 2026 (voted July 2025). Change of use is mandatory for secondary residences with compensation in the same zone.
The compensation zone could expand beyond the historic center: Chartrons, Saint-Michel, Capucins.

It's likely regardless of the result. Chartrons, Saint-Michel and Capucins neighborhoods are targeted. The extension could be voted as early as summer 2026 with the new council.
Nicolas Florian was the main right-wing candidate and former mayor (2019-2020). His death in early 2025 left a void on the right, benefiting Thomas Cazenave (Renaissance) who positioned himself as the alternative.
