Great shopping!!! All the best high street shops. Parking in one of the garages is easiest. Or, take one of the park and ride parkings on the outskirts it is really cheap and you get tram tickets for all passengers in your car! More

Must visit in Bordeaux! This is one of the most interesting and vibrant places in the city and should be on your walking tour itinerary. More

Nice wide areas to accomodate shoppers with coffee shops, restaurants and hotels in the area. Not to be missed. More

Rue ste Catherine is a great place to walk, shop and people watch. The best shops are at the beginning and the discounted shops are way at the end of the street. More
