Cell towers in Talence (Gironde)

Antennas are listed at Résidence Phèdre Bérénice, Rue Paul Cézanne/Alfred de Musset, 351 Cours de la Liberation, Le Breuil, 12 Rue Dubernat and Rue Georges Pompidou.

Most antennas sit on rooftops (30 of 33), so heights stay modest; the tallest support is 56 m at Cours de la Libération.

Systems from 1994 are still on the register. Bouygues Telecom opened 5G here in November 2020; Free Mobile followed in December 2020, Orange followed in December 2020. 2013 was the busiest year, with 63 new systems, most of them 4G.

Over the past 12 months ANFR recorded 25 new systems here. Approved additions not yet in service are pending on 9 existing masts, for example Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at Résidence Phèdre Bérénice, Free Mobile (5G 700 MHz) at 12 Rue Dubernat and Orange (3G 900 MHz) at 351 Cours de la Liberation. 17 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Free Mobile on all 14 masts, Orange on all 11 masts, SFR on 10 of its 11 masts and Bouygues Telecom on 8 of its 9 masts.

Begles lies 3 km to the east and has only 16 masts.

Among the 62 Gironde towns with at least five masts, Talence ranks 4th by mast count. With 33 masts for 46,338 residents, or 7 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (10).

At 8 km² with 46,338 residents, the commune is dense enough that most antennas sit on rooftops rather than pylons. It is part of the Bordeaux Métropole intercommunal grouping.

30 buildings and 3 pylons carry the commune's antennas.

Figures above cover installations declared to ANFR as in service or technically operational, as of October 2026; approved projects are not counted.
