    Why Bordeaux businesses choose our containers

    The Bordeaux metropolitan area brings together sectors with radically different storage needs: temperature-controlled wine cellars, aerospace hangars for oversized parts, site accommodation for large urban construction projects, cold-storage food warehouses. It is precisely this diversity that makes the shipping container a concrete operational answer for businesses in the region, whether the need is one-off or a permanent fixture.

    Winemaking

    Temperature-controlled wine storage for winemakers in Bordeaux

    One overly hot summer, and an entire batch can lose its aromas. Bordeaux winemaking covers 117,500 hectares of vineyards around the metropolitan area. Between bottling and shipping, a stable temperature has to be maintained. The cellar overflows, space runs short, and the Gironde summer heats up.

    A Reefer container holds 12 to 18°C, the ideal range for wine in bottles or bulk. It sets up on the estate within hours. No construction work, no permit for temporary use. You secure production without locking a budget into a permanent building.

    Chemicals

    Secure storage for plant protection products for winemakers in Bordeaux

    Plant protection products come with tight regulations. Winegrowers must provide liquid containment, forced ventilation, and a space separated from other areas. Building a compliant structure takes months and costs a hefty budget. And an inspection can land before it's finished.

    A container fitted with a containment tray and ventilation covers all three requirements at once. It arrives on the estate ready to use and sets down near the plots. Corten steel holds up over time, even exposed to Gironde humidity. You're compliant from day one.

    Winemaking

    Housing seasonal workers for the grape harvest in Bordeaux

    Every September, the grape harvest brings thousands of seasonal workers to Gironde. Estates need to provide them with changing rooms and washroom facilities close to the plots. Three weeks later, it's all over. Investing in a permanent building for a seasonal peak doesn't add up.

    A site accommodation container combines changing rooms, washrooms, and a rest area in a single module. It sets down on flat ground, connects to water and power, and is removed once the harvest is done. Year to year, you adjust the number of modules to match your headcount. You pay for use, not for real estate.

    Construction

    Equipment storage and site accommodation for construction in Bordeaux

    Euratlantique, the new university hospital, the Bègles and Bordeaux-Nord eco-districts: local construction firms are running one major project after another. Crews move tools and equipment from one site to another every quarter. Tool theft remains a real loss. Storing on site, yes — but in what?

    A Corten steel shipping container locks equipment away between working days. Reinforced padlock, 2mm walls, a wood floor that handles heavy loads. Site accommodation version: changing room, break room, office. It moves by container truck and sets down on the next site within hours.

    Industry

    Spare parts storage for aerospace in Bordeaux

    Dassault Aviation in Mérignac, Safran, Thales: Bordeaux's aerospace sector employs 20,000 people. These sites handle costly parts, often oversized, exposed to humidity and dust. A single damaged component can shut down a production line.

    A Dry or High Cube container stays weatherproof on an industrial site, with ventilation and secure closure. The 6m or 12m formats fit right in alongside existing logistics areas. Fitted-out version with shelving and lighting: you manage inventory directly on site, without adding more buildings.

    Agri-food

    Maintaining the cold chain for food processing in Bordeaux

    Food processing in Gironde goes well beyond wine. Canneries, processors of regional products, distributors: all depend on an unbroken cold chain. A cold room breakdown at peak season means entire pallets lost.

    A Reefer container plugged into a three-phase outlet becomes a working cold room. It holds from -25°C to +25°C depending on the product. You can order one urgently to absorb a surplus or make up for a breakdown. No stopped production, no wasted stock.

    Port access

    Bordeaux and the Port of Bordeaux: your direct access to shipping containers

    The Port of Bordeaux — a leading container hub

    The Port of Bordeaux stretches along the Garonne and its estuary. It handles 6.18 million tonnes of freight a year. The container terminal is in Bassens, 10km from the city center. CMA-CGM runs a regular line there on the Atlantic coast.

    For us, that means short supply lines and a wide stock. From Bassens, a container reaches Bordeaux in under 30 minutes by road. The concrete result: competitive prices and reliable lead times.

    Transport routes and access to Bordeaux

    Bordeaux is a major motorway crossroads in the southwest. The A630 ring road connects the four main motorways serving the metropolitan area. The Bassens port rail network enables combined rail-road transport. The Garonne offers a developing river access route.

    Do I need a permit to install a container in Bordeaux?

    It depends on the duration and use. For a temporary installation of less than 3 months, a prior declaration is generally enough. Beyond that, a building permit may be required depending on the Bordeaux Métropole local zoning plan (PLU). We recommend checking with your town's planning department before any installation.

    Can I buy a used container in Bordeaux?

    Yes. National Conteneur offers three categories: new (first-trip), used (generally good condition, some signs of wear), and last-trip (fair condition, ideal for fixed storage). Every container is inspected before sale. Used containers offer the best value for on-site storage.

    What container sizes are available in Bordeaux?

    Standard sizes are available: 20ft (6.06m × 2.44m × 2.59m, about 33m³), 40ft (12.19m × 2.44m × 2.59m, about 67m³), 40ft High Cube (12.19m × 2.44m × 2.90m, about 76m³). Reefer (refrigerated) containers are available in 20ft and 40ft. Other special formats are available on request.
