Mikejac Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 May seem like a silly question, but does France have department stores like Debenhams, House of Fraser, M&S, BHS. In all my travels around the Country I don't ever recall seeing this type of store, though that might be because we tend to avoid large city centres. It's only relevant to us now as we are about to move there in May.Mikejac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jo53 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Must depend where you live. There are none in our whole department. You have to buy everything at the supermarket, but particular things are only stocked at certain times of year. So if you want bed linen when it's not bed linen promo week, you are in trouble (OK, there will be a tiny selection somewhere, but pas grand chose). There are a few very expensive little boutiques as well, but a gaping chasm in the middle of the market (outside the really big towns anyway). A shopper's paradise it ain't, but at least there's no temptation to spend money ...Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardian Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Forget it !Best to order through the net in the UK & get the stuff delivered to friends who are coming out. Whatever, you'll spend days and lots of kms trying to find what you want - but that's what being down here is all about, isn't it? But don't hold your breath expecting a result on every trip.

Ron Avery Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Yes every town has a department store where you can get everything that you can get in M&S and House Of Fraser, its called the town centre, and you may get wet walking from section to section!! In the big cities as others have posted, there are UK style Departmental stores, but like House of Frazer many trnd to be small franchises in the same building. .

The last time I looked it was about 700km's and 8 hours drive from the Lot to St Malo, so not reallly handy for a day trip for a fry up and shopping at M&S. is it?[:D]. You could fly to the UK for a day at M&S in Chelmsford quicker[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
