The Most Hipster Hangouts In Bordeaux

Bordeaux has become increasingly cool over the past few years – ranked by many international publications as one of the best places to visit or live in worldwide, it is now France’s ‘place-to-be’. Here is a selection of the most hipster hangouts in Bordeaux.

Bordeaux’s Vintage Stores

Every hipster knows that flea markets and vintage stores are where the cool kids like to refine their look. Hello Vintage, in the vibrant Chartrons neighbourhood, is a great place to buy unique pieces and souvenirs. In the city centre, you will also find carefully selected clothes at Trafic and Freep’Show shops.

The Capucins neighbourhood

For years, The Capucins area (also known as ‘Les Capu’) near Gare Saint-Jean train station was considered a rough area in Bordeaux. But with the effort from the city to rehabilitate this neighbourhood, and particularly its market, ‘Les Capu’ has become increasingly hip. Buying your food from the local producers at Le Marché des Capucins and sharing seafood or a charcuterie plate with your friends at one of its restaurants is a great way to help the local economy – while being cool at the same time.

Eat in Bordeaux’s food epicentre

If you are a foodie in Bordeaux, you must go to either Place du Parlement or Rue Saint Rémi. Both places are close to each other and filled with so many great restaurants, tapas and wine bars and it might be hard to pick one. If you go to Place du Parlement, try the wine bar l’Autre Petit Bois or Guys and Sons for a relaxed atmosphere and to-die-for burgers in Rue Saint Rémi.
