Discover the Bordeaux wines in an exceptional setting with a beautiful circular staircase.
Pétrusse
Pétrusse is a great shop to buy beautiful cashmere or luxurious silk pashminas. You will also find superb, hand-woven scarves in here.
Badie
If you want to buy wine but do not feel like venturing outside the city all the way to the wineries and castles, Bordeaux’s streets and squares are full of wine merchants. One of the oldest and more popular wine of them is Badie.
Sunday Flea Market (St-Michel)
Sunday is the day to visit the flea market on Quai de Salinières. Here you can find everything from a cheerful mess of furniture to nick-knacks, clothes and books - all of which is second-hand. These types of markets are the classic family or friends outing in France, and a great Sunday activity.

Locally-made goose liver and goat cheese are sold at the Capuçins Market on Saturdays. At the Centre Commercial Saint Christoly and the Galerie des Grand s Hommes department stores there are innumerable shops, cafés and fast food outlets. If you like sweets things, Baillardran on Grands Hommes is the must for cakes, pastries and sweets.
