The atmosphere was outstanding, but the stores where the same old same old.

In essence we have an American style mall that is outdoors and carries most of the big box brands.

But none the less not to be missed while in Bordeaux

Bordeaux has remained in the XIXth century. It is a very provincial, backward and dirty town. There are many bars and very few elegant boutiques. After shopping in Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles I was sorely disappointed.

In summer, the heat can rise to 105F with high humidity and no air-conditioning. It rains frequently. Even the restaurants ...

I lived in France as a foreign exchange student when I was 16 years old. Rue Saint-Catherine is definitely the place to see and be seen. It's like an outdoor mall! - which I love. But even if you don't want to shop you can walk the street, see other french people, sit down at a steet cafe and enjoy the French life. Ah - c'est magnifique!

I loved this street. It was more than a street though, it is where I hung out everyday after school. They have beautiful clothing and scarf shops. There are wonderful places to get ice cream, sandwiches, baked goods, and the best pizza in the world!!! I loved how busy the street was with people(there are no cars on this street). When I think ...

We went to this shopping street during a holiday in Bordeaux after reading the positive reviews of it on yahoo but I was really disappointed. The shops aren't really anything special compared to the average high street in Britain. We only went in one shop which was the equivalent of a pound shop...The best bit was finding a McDonalds at the end of the street! It's not terrible, just not particularly anything special.

The shopping is brilliant! Went to this place during winter and the main street was still packed with people. Plenty of shops and cafes for your enjoyment.

Vibrant, youthful and exciting.
