Does anyone know of a building supplies outlet near to Brioude. Clermont Ferrand is about an hour's drive north from where we are and we know of a Brico Depot there but I don't think they deliver materials.

We need plaster boards, timber, breeze blocks and flooring, as well as roofing materials.

The alternative is to hire a van, so next question..does anyone know of a van hire place near to Brioude that does not cost a fortune. We have seen that some of the supermarkets hire vans out at 29euro's per day, is this a option?

Watch that 29€ per day price - realistically its more like 45€ + costs in a lot of cases , you must read all the small print to see what you get for the basic hire as petrol MAY be charged by the km or simply that you return the vehicle with a completely full tank, they are all different regs. You will also have to leave a cheque de caution of possibly 3000€ to safeguard against accident/theft etc and you will need all your documents. It would be far cheaper to get the merchants to deliver to site for about £30 equivalent, we always have our big stuff delivered to save time and wear on the vehicles.
