What to do and see in Bordeaux, Nouvelle-Aquitaine: The Best Shopping
After many years of hard work, the "Sleeping Beauty" has awoken from its slumber. The city is beautifully restored and has an ultra-modern public transport system. The “Port of the Moon” is also now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Stone Bridge, with its 17 arches, crosses the Garonne, offering pedestrians a lovely view over the docks and harbor. Take a stroll through old Bordeaux in the Triangle d'Or and stop at Place des Quinconces, France’s largest public square. The city of Bordeaux is an ideal base for exploring the greater wine region’s unforgettable sights and tastes.

Welcome to Max Bordeaux and its magical concept that opens wines such as Latour, Margaux, Haut-Brion, Cheval Blanc, Mouton Rothschild and Yquem to everyone! You wouldn’t buy a car before test driving it, so before buying a Grand Cru, you will want to have tasted it first! An innovative concept paired alongside an educational approach: each wine is presented with the history of the chateau, the winemaking techniques and the tasting notes. You credit a tasting card that is given to you upon arrival to the gallery with your desired amount. Each time you taste a new wine, the corresponding amount is debited based on the size of tasting you choose (25, 50, or 75 mL). Private Wine tasting workshops can be held with a sommelier who explains the history of the Grand Cru Classe with a comparative tasting between different appellations.

Wine tasting focused on education. The room isn’t terribly interesting but the wine is terrific and the staff was wonderful.

A great market with lots of stuff to look at and buy or just to see what the French people buy on a daily basis - fruit and vegetables that are most intersting for example different coloured tomatoes! Some speciality cakes the Caneles and the pastries with vanilla cream in the centre. Meat and fish of all kinds. There are also places to eat - oysters, breakfast, lunch. We went twice during our 5 day stay: we had lunch one day and breakfast another. Both were excellent. Go and see this place,it tells you more about France and the French now than the historic museums although they can tell you so much about the past.

My local friend told me that the price of the wine in L’intendant is the same as those purchased at family store! The same price for the wine is surprising news for me because its interior design is such a master piece and magnificent. On the uppermost floor, all the most popular wine is displayed beautifully!

There are heaps of stalls to look at. It's certainly a French flea market with old antique furniture, carpets, jewellery, bric a brac (which is a little junkie) but fun to dig through looking for a bargain. Great little cafes line the market and perfect for a coffee and a bite to eat.
