Gabe Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Any body help,Need advise on buying range cookers in France. We had planned to buy a Rangemaster range cooker in England and bring over with our furniture. Reason being internet prices of £1475 for a model that would cost us £1900 in France, admittedly badged as Falcon, but basically the same cooker, in fact a slightly lesser model. However the warranty issue and servicing decided us against it. Therefore my question is, are there any internet sites in France, that I should be looking at, that over similar deals as to those available in England ? Alternatively can anybody recommend retailers that offer better prices than the ones I have seen so far.ThanksGabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wozza Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 We bought a Falcon range cooker from Connexion. I have also seen them at other retailers, but more expensive. Ours is a two oven, five ring, hot plate and grill affair and cost us under €2000, delivery and installation included (although kitchen still a twinkle on OH's eye, so passed on installation).Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gastines Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Yes I agree with Wozza and followed his advice a few months ago. Bought ours from Connexion and got 400ediscount with a 5 year guarantee, plus they install and check gas supply etc. I do have trade accounts in UK, so can buy this item at trade price but when you work out the logistics of delivering this weighty item,plus installation etc I would go for a local supplier each time. We ended up with the Falcon Classic and have been very pleased with it.Regards. 5mins ST.Malo www.ourinns.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 Thanks,Gastines can I be rude and ask what you paid for the Falcon Classic, as this is the model we would like.Gabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hastobe Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Presumably it is possible to install a UK Rangemaster in France - it's just the logistics of getting one there?Kathie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJT Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I did a search on Falcon and Connexion and came up with nothing. I assume Connexion is an internet site, I would be interested to take a look. If possible, could someone please post the address? Thanks in advance.

Ejc Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 What about the french equivilent of an aga? We'll be looking for a solid fuel heat store range cooker..... and not to sure where to start, since we're not yet in France. Any advice suggestions? Our initial plans to bring one over have changed after we double checked insurance etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chezstevens Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I believe the Falcon is a rebadged Rangemaster. Aga have them fabricated in Italy and then finished in UK. We have a rangemaster 110 elan, with EEC butane connections, and had no probs - spares are easily obtained thru Ebay if required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icmenuiserie Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 We've recently bought a rayburn (gas) on ebay in the UK and are converting it to bottled gas. I prefer these to the french cuisinieres....but there are dealers over here doing Esse and the like, look in French News as I've seen adverts there for them, also doing agas and rayburns...sorry can't remember the name of the person doing them but HTH Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
