Where to buy gifts from around the world New Aquitaine

As soon as you enter, the tone is set: there's no need to go far to travel, as Comptoirs de Magellan is a veritable Ali Baba's cave, a bazaar in the heart of the city that delights all the senses. Spread over two floors, the place enchants with its plethora of treasures from 5 continents: clothing, jewelry, tableware, gourmet products, books... You're sure to unearth some pretty nuggets! A must for anyone looking for authentic gifts.

There are original objects and full of gift ideas installed in a real charentaise house: house plates, balancier toys, nice dishes and, because we are at sea, a large "marine carterie" radius. Panama also distributes local products (including the large salt from Madame, which is not everywhere) and a line of care for the salt-based body of the island of Ré (the Bio-Salines range).

Françoise Bartaire welcomes you in his cave of Ali Baba with objects of all kinds and accessible to all the scholarships. Here you can find Indian-inspired clothing, fabrics, jewelry and accessories for hair, cloth bags, incense, Moroccan haboons and wooden toys (bilboets, dominos, mikados, etc.). The sign is also geared towards fair trade.

Since 1945, the Comptoir du Pêcheur has been dedicated to the everyday life of the sailor: hooks, rods, oilskins, paint, safety, boat tools, rope... and the equipment has come a long way! Created by the fishermen of the Basque Coast to improve their supplies, the fashion for sailors and the decoration trends in magazines have forced this space to diversify into clothing: Bermudas, polo shirts, boat shoes, boots, marine sweaters, jackets, oilskins, for women, men and children, and cosmetics. Quality and durability are the hallmarks of our rigorous selection.

Bertrand, a funny guy, has been selling wooden objects for 10 years in Fouras. It welcomes you in its small cabin located in the sidewalk connecting the seafront and the church square. From the month of March, it takes its summer areas on the great beach of Fouars, Place Carnot, while in the winter it is located rue de la Halle. Cubes, puzzles, mobiles, figurines… Just cross the door to go back in childhood. But here, know it, you won't find strong Miniature miniature, "it's not the kind of house," warns the boss. On the other hand, the gulls hanging on the ceiling are a very good memory. The last thing: The house does not take wooden cheques or credit card.

René Beaudinet creates decorative objects for the house and garden on the theme of animals, nature and the sea. Naturally, the fauna and flora of Charente-Maritime inspires it many. He even created the legend of z'huîtrioux: small characters carved from an oyster shell. These little characters inhabit the marshes, creating an enchanted universe that delights small and large. René realizes all his articles in various materials, from the most classical to the most unusual: float wood, metal, land, cement, plaster… and polystyrene. Hence the uniqueness and uniqueness of each piece. Very good gift ideas to bring to your loved ones when you return from vacation.
