I stopped in to look at their wine selection because yes, in a place like Bordeaux, the supermarkets are where you can find excellent deals on fine wines. I also picked up a couple of French soaps that looked fancy but cost me less than $1 each (make great souvenirs or gifts for friends and family back home) and an American water (a.k.a. Coke Zero). Since my dad was in the grocery business, it's always been a hobby of mine to visit grocery stores everywhere I travel; did it as a kid and still do it as an adult. Looking at local produce and convenience foods is just plain fun. This is a small store so you aren't going to find a super huge selection, but it has most of what you need to get the job done. They charge for shopping bags so bring your own or buy one of the nice reuseable ones they sell for a few cents more (another cool souvenir).

Whether it's vegetables, wine, meat or household items like washing pods or dishwasher pods, it has all you need if you're actually living for a week in a nearby apartment. Contrary to other reviews I read, the staff were very helpful in explaining the vegetable weighing setup and I had help on the auto checkout at the end when I couldn't find the correct codes for some croissants I bought. Just try some broken French and people generally were extremely helpful. The building itself is an amazing glass covered circular building, so it's pretty cool shopping there. Yes it's slightly more expensive than other carrefours, yes you can get fresher vege's and bread at small boulangeries etc. but they will not be as convenient or probably even open at the hours this place was open.
