E. LeClerc is a large chain of grocery stores in France, which also has home goods, appliances,…read moretoys, garden items, etc. It is somewhat like Target in the U.S. This is also the name of the shopping center in Saint-Gaudens/Estancarbon, where there is a large selection of other stores including: LeClerc parapharmacie, LeClerc travel, a separate electronics and book store, clothing stores, hair salons, chocolate shop, two eateries (one causal buffet, the other a sit down restaurant), sneaker shop, barber shop, flower shop, etc. The collection of stores makes shopping very convenient. I do most of my food and other shopping here. I wish that there was a post office at this location as there is in Pau. I also wish that there were better clothes shopping options for women.

I recently started using their online order and in-store pick up service. It has made dealing with large purchases much easier. They will even put the items directly from the pallet into our van. It has made shopping even easier.

I was in dire need of a new pair of sneakers and had a bad experience at a different store. I…read moredecided to check out Chaussures du Château, as it is in the same shopping plaza as my favorite grocery store, Super U. So glad I did. This store is comparable to DSW in the U.S. in terms of layout and selection. There are many types of sneakers and causal shoes available, in a broad range of sizes. Prices are reasonable. Sales staff was friendly and quick to ask if I needed anything. They were more attentive than I have experienced in some other stores. My only issue is that some styles had shoes available to try on and pick up on the floor, where was others (including the ones I wanted) required assistance. It would be great to have on the floor selections for all types. I am in the market for some other sneakers (for wearing, not working out). I will definitely return

The store is light and bright, and all items were properly arranged in size order. Sales staff is friendly and helpful. The prices are very reasonable, such as 29 Euros for a pair of jeans. The sweater was the same price. This store also has a very unique feature called the Yoyo Guarantee. If you go up or down a size for a year, they will allow an exchange for FREE. If the exact model you want is no longer available, the store will always be able to offer you an equivalent fit for one year after purchase. This helps reduce waste often seen with fast fashion. Any jeans exchanged will find their second life in a second-hand circuit within Camaieu, or at Vestali, an association which promotes the training and integration of women returning to the workforce and those in the sewing professions thanks to to its collection, recycling and upcycling activities. I will definitely shop there again.

LeClerc shopping center in Estancarbon. It is well laid out with the makeup at the front of the store, skin and hair care at the back. They had the mascara I wanted and a highlighter stick. Like Sephora, they offer a rewards program where you get double points on your first purchase for signing up. The sales staff made it easy to sign up and also helped me find what I needed. I didn't give 5 stars because they were out of stock of a few things but I was given several suggestions for substitutes.
