Rue Sainte-Catherine, Pedestrian shopping street in central Bordeaux, France

The 1.2-kilometer Rue Sainte-Catherine stretches from Place de la Comédie to Place de la Victoire, featuring stone buildings with wrought-iron balconies.

The street follows the path of an ancient Roman cardo and underwent complete pedestrianization between 1976 and 1984 to enhance the urban experience.

The Galerie Bordelaise, opened in 1834, represents French commercial heritage with its glass-roofed passage and continues to operate as a shopping destination.

Visitors find major retailers like Galeries Lafayette, Zara, and H&M, along with numerous shoe stores and fashion boutiques throughout the street.

At the intersection with Cours Alsace-Lorraine, a bas-relief indicates where two underground rivers, the Peugue and Devèze, flow beneath the street.
