Since 1986, L'Entrepôt Saint-Germain has been delighting casual shoppers and serious collectors with its stock of quality antiques and vintage items. Die-hard fans may still refer to it by its old name, Flash Antiques Flea Market, although the store has been operating under its new name since 2015. The owners of this store have a special passion for vintage goods from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, though their vast experience means they never overlook beautiful antiques. Anything old, unique and collectible can find its way into this store!
With a prime location near Bordeaux's train station, L'Entrepôt Saint-Germain is really easy to find for both locals and tourists. From the outside, the store is rather inconspicuous, giving no indication of the large area of vintage goods it hides. Inside, the warehouse spreads out, with nearly 4000 square feet of space dedicated to vintage and antique treasures. It is not a busy shopping street and the store is not flanked by others, but stands alone and almost blends in with the surrounding residential buildings. This makes it all the more special when you step inside.
The owners of L'Entrepôt Saint-Germain have taken great care to organize the store in such a way that it is intuitive for visitors to find their way around, and all the items are arranged by type. Old shop windows dating from 1900 to 1950 have been completely reassembled in the warehouse, giving this antique and vintage shop a unique charm. The reception area at the entrance is filled with vintage furniture, along with a special display of toys and games.
Ascending the stairs to the first floor, shoppers will find oil paintings, vinyl records, and assorted curios and trinkets. Other rooms are dedicated to tools, clothing, and a flea market area with very random secondhand items of interest. With so much to explore, it is impossible to leave this store empty-handed.
