This is a local grocery store located in the lower level of a shopping mall. It's not touristy so…read moredon't expect any hand holding from the employees. 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). Checkout was efficient but far from friendly but hey, this is France. Nobody smiles, LOL.

Excellent Carrefour in terms of range of available goods, especially considering its location…read morewithin the very popular golden triangle area of central Bordeaux. 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.

I came here on a Saturday morning. I prefer these kind of old school markets instead of the new…read morefood halls that have started opening. The locals come here and it's definitely not touristy. The produce vendors are here early at 6:00 AM but the food stands don't open until at least 8:00 AM. There's also flowers, clothing, baked goods, fishmongers, cheesemongers, and butchers. I wish I could eat seafood in the morning since the Cap Ferret oysters did look good. Instead, I went to the crepe stand. My friend and I ordered a citron crepe and a sausage galette. The crepe and galette were made to order and delicious. The savory sausage galette had a creamy mustard sauce with fresh chives so it was amazing. I wish I could eat more (such problems I have) so I'll definitely have to come back!
