The cost of utilities such as electricity, heating, cooling, water, and garbage is also moderate and can vary based on usage and the size of the apartment. Groceries in Bordeaux are reasonably priced, with local markets offering fresh produce, meat, and dairy products. Eating out in Bordeaux can range from affordable at smaller bistros and cafes, to more expensive at high-end restaurants. Public transportation in Bordeaux is efficient and affordable, with options including trams, buses, and bicycles. Owning a car can be quite expensive, considering the costs of fuel, maintenance, and parking. Healthcare in Bordeaux, as in the rest of France, is of high quality and is accessible to all residents, although private health insurance can add to monthly expenses. Overall, while Bordeaux can be more affordable than cities like Paris or Lyon, it still requires a substantial budget to cover all living expenses," explained one expat living in Bordeaux, France.
