Rive droite

This commercial zone in Bègles, in the Gironde, forms part of the Rives d’Arcins retail complex on the southern axis of the Bordeaux metropolitan area, approximately 5 kilometres south of Bordeaux city centre on the left bank of the Garonne. It serves the southern Bordeaux residential catchment — including Bègles, Villenave-d’Ornon and the Gironde corridor toward Langon — as a major regional retail destination. Carrefour anchors the grocery component. Grand Frais anchors the fresh food component. Apple operates through an Apple Premium Reseller.

H&M, Bershka, G-Star Raw, Mango, Morgan, Lacoste, Hugo, Intimissimi, Tezenis, Oxbow and Serge Blanco cover fashion across mainstream and lifestyle segments. Decathlon and Foot Locker handle sportswear. Kiko Milano and Lush cover beauty. Conforama covers furniture. La Fée Maraboutée covers contemporary French womenswear. Kusmi Tea covers specialty tea. Bensimon/Autour du Monde holds a lifestyle home and fashion position. La Chaise Longue covers home accessories.

The scheme is accessible by road from the A630 Bordeaux ring road and the D1113. The southern Bordeaux axis draws from the residential population of Bègles, Villenave-d’Ornon and the wider Gironde corridor toward Langon, as well as from the university catchment around the Bordeaux Talence campus.

Bensimon/Autour du Monde’s presence gives the scheme an accessible lifestyle brand position that bridges fashion and home — the brand’s canvas shoes and relaxed clothing have strong resonance in the Bordeaux consumer culture of leisure and coastal identity. Serge Blanco, the French rugby heritage brand named for the celebrated Basque player, signals the southwestern French sporting culture in which rugby union functions as a primary leisure and identity marker for the Bordeaux and Gironde consumer population.
