Le dépanneur du coin is a funny name for this grocery store selling local products from Bordeaux, but this name has a story. The name “Dépanneur du coin” comes from a Quebec experience when Anaïs Cavernes, one of the establishment’s associates, was a nurse in Montreal. You should know that in Quebec, the convenience store is a small grocery store that has nothing organic or local about it, but the name amused Anaïs a lot, so she named her shop “the corner convenience store” which, on the other hand, offers only local products and zero waste.
This shop is a retraining for Anaïs who after treating patients, treats gourmands. In the grocery store, you will essentially find products from Gironde and New Aquitaine. As often as possible in bulk to have as little waste as possible. You will thus find fruits and vegetables, but also dry products, syrups, spirits, dairy products and even hygiene and maintenance products. bulk and local.
To choose their products, Anaïs and her partner Christelle receive many producers and taste all the products that could end up on the shelves at the local convenience store because she wants to know the products perfectlyproducers and places of production.
If you cross the doors of the shop on Wednesday morning, know that every Wednesday morning there is free tasting of products with the producers in the shop from 10 a.m. to noon. It’s a nice moment of exchange with producers and customers. The address of the local convenience store: 36 rue Jenny Lépreux in Bordeaux, not far from the St Augustin church.
