One of the largest shopping centers in the Bordeaux urban community, Rives d’Arcins attracts 5.5 million visitors every year with its unique shopping center concept only 15 minutes from the city center. An eco-friendly project, the center has made its own special contribution to reclaiming the Garonne River and restoring its banks.
