Jonzjob Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Has anyone any idea if there is a French version of the good old English builders merchant in the Carcassonne area? You know the place, you go in and there are 3 people in front of you, the bloke behind the counter gets half way through serving someone and goes to get a cup of tea/coffee and it takes for ever to get served. BUT the goods are good quality and are a reasonable price. All the tradesmen go there and laugh at the prices charged in the 'sheds' and they are worth their weight in gold! When you get your face known you can even get trade prices.....Do they exist here?????John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillan Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 We have two in Quillan but then we are a bit up market here. They have things like tap washers for taps that stopped being made just before WW1 started as well as all the modern stuff. One of them is also the local funeral director.

Hoddy Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 They do exist. I know one in Daglan (24). That won't be much help to you though.I suppose you've tried asking the locals.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted March 23, 2005 Author Share Posted March 23, 2005 "We have two in Quillan but then we are a bit up market here."Hi Chris,Do you mean up market or up hill? And I assume that the out of date stuff came from the Fourmike-a factory? Just you wait and hope that the Marie don't make you put a piscine type fence round your moles! Danger to shipping all those new hills .For once I my life I was trying to be delerious serious!John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoop Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Hi Chris, Not sure if this is what you,re after but found TRIDOME ( a bit like B&Q) in Carcassonne very good. The staff were helpfull, and the place user friendly for us Brits although i found the products a little expensive Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
