Shopping in Bordeaux

The Golden Triangle, formed by the allée de Tourny, cours de l'intendance and cours Clemenceau, is the location of Bordeaux's smartest shops, with designer labels, trendy homeware shops and gourmet food stores, including one of France's most stunning wine shops. L'Intendant, 2 allée de Tourny, has thousands of wine bottles stacked around a spiral staircase. Another excellent wine shop is the Vinothèque de Bordeaux, 8 cours du 30 Juillet.
Running south of this triangle is Bordeaux's main shopping street, the pedestrianised rue Ste-Catherine. The rue Notre-Dame in the Chartrons district is good for antiques shops, while the passage St-Michel has interesting junk shops.
