But the city is also brimming with small, original boutiques, perfect for a unique shopping experience away from the big names.

Rue des Remparts

La rue des Remparts is a small 250-meter street that runs from the Porte Dijeaux (near Place Gambetta) to the town hall. This pedestrian thoroughfare is bustling with activity, not least because of its many shops, from well-known names to independent boutiques that follow one another : haberdashery, costume jewelry, tea stores, home decor, articles for children and also for their parents, barber, confectionery, restaurants... So many addresses that make rue des Remparts a must for a shopping session in Bordeaux!

Rue du Pas-Saint-Georges

To avoid the crowds of Rue St Catherine, step aside and take Rue du Pas-Saint-Georges. This alleyway alone brings together everything that makes the quartier Saint Pierre so friendly and authentic. Good little restaurants, numerous independent boutiques promoting French savoir-faire far from the big chain stores. Start your shopping spree at Place du Parlement and wander down Rue du Pas-Saint-Georges to Place Fernand Lafargue. The " shopping addict " can even continue the day to rue St James...

Rue Notre-Dame

At the heart of the Chartrons district, Rue Notre-Dame is an iconic Bordeaux street. Wine and antique shops rub shoulders with art galleries and designer boutiques, giving the area its bohemian atmosphere, like a little air of the streets of Montmartre. The recently refurbished Saint-Louis church shines more brightly than ever at the centre of rue Notre-Dame. In addition to the antique shops that have made the district's reputation, pretty decoration, optical, ready-to-wear and other chic and trendy concept stores have sprung up along Rue Notre-Dame. Shopping queens beware!
