The lounges of the Bordeaux City Hall will be transformed for the space of a weekend into a real kitchen store.

But beware, this won't be just any pop-up store.

In fact, the tableware of the region's greatest chefs will be sold there. in Bubbles.

It has been exported to Alsace for a few years.

The idea of ​​coming to Bordeaux was natural since it is one of the world capitals of gastronomy.

We have been thinking about it since 2019 but it was not easy with the Covid-19.

Between 3,000 and 4,000 items will go on sale Saturday (2 p.m. to 7 p.m.) and Sunday (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.).

But not through an auction as some might have thought given the prestige of the items.

It will be a traditional direct sale.

Florence Daveau adds:

“We've always wanted to be on a direct sale because we want to remain very accessible.

We don't want to be elitist at all.

There must be something for all budgets with, for example, very affordable prices on porcelain.

With us, it's first come, first served.

We want to keep this flea market side, empty restaurant.

»

You will be able to treat yourself, for example, to the dishes of Christopher Coutanceau, a three-star chef based in La Rochelle.

In all, fifteen establishments will participate in this sale like no other.

Plates, glasses, cutlery, silverware, table linen, buckets or champagne bowls… We should find everything there.

A solidarity sale

The event aims to be eco-responsible but also supportive.

It is organized in partnership with the Kiwanis Aquitaine Charentes Quercy clubs whose motto is “Serving the children of the world”.

Part of the profits from the sale will be donated to the Rare Diseases Foundation.

More than 80% of the dishes are sold according to the organizers.

“We often have very pretty bells and above all, there are objects that we cannot find on the market”, warns Florence Daveau.

It must be said that this kind of unprecedented sale attracts a little everyone.

From the young restaurateur who comes to equip himself to the individual looking for a souvenir or a rare piece, passing by the one who wants to offer himself a prestigious service at a lower cost.

The event “also surfs on the vintage wave” reminds the organizer.

And to make sure there are no glasses or trays left at the end, the prices drop even further on Sundays.
