It is true, they really do exist! There are the mega stores and the market versions, it’s like Walmart finally had an influence on the French supermarket!
The store that I frequent the most is Rosny 2 ( a mall in Rosny Sous Bois, 93000).
It is so big that there are 3 levels. The first is dedicated to rows and rows of every kind of food imaginable, a representation of every culture – peanut butter, Chinese, Mexican, etc. The second and third are like the home/garden/entertainment section of Walmart, there is everything that one would ever want, and it is hard to walk out emptied handed.
There are cool escalators, basically like moving sidewalks that go up hills with a slip-proof floor, that way no one looses or accidently ( or on purpose) lets their cart go. Plus, one thing that Walmarts in the US mare missing arte the rollerblades. Employees go skating around the store to be extra efficient especially when there is a price check.
The one thing that I miss are the “ lower prices everyday,” often the prices are the same as supermarket stores that sell the same home products or food. But one thing stays the same is the people. There literally needs to be a people of Carrefour, you think Americans dress interestingly, it’s a whole other world across the ocean!
What are your thoughts on Carrefour? Have you ever visited one?
They have everything but cake mixes and cake pans!!
