Chartrons
Quartier des Chartrons
A riverside district where wine merchants once lived, now full of antique shops, cafés, and boutiques.
From the 17th to the 19th century, wine merchants, many of them Dutch, English, and German, settled here. Their warehouses and mansions along the Garonne remain today. The main street, Rue Notre-Dame, is lined with antique shops, design boutiques, and cafés. Nearby, the Maison des Chartrons (Chartrons merchants' house) and the Museum of Wine and Trade can tell you about the history of the wine industry. On Sunday mornings, the lively farmers' market at the Chartrons quay along the river sells oysters and roast chicken. Take tram Line B to the Chartrons stop.
