This market has a wide variety of products, ranging from produce, meat, snacks, and shelf-stable food to household cleaning supplies and even some small kitchen appliances (although these are limited to kettles, toasters, and similar). I don't have a lot of space in my kitchen so I often opt for frozen pre-cut vegetables, and this Carrefour has a great selection of these, including stir-fry mix, vegetables for making soup, spinach, bell peppers, and sweet potatoes. Basics are very affordable, including canned lentils, rice, pasta, and bread. Before making a trip home to America, I wanted to bring some French items back for my parents; things like financiers and madeleines were super cheap and the individually wrapped ones were handy for distributing among friends/family. The Carrefour brand items are great for everyday, but if you want something "fancier," you can also find more gourmet versions of dried sausages, foie gras, and biscuits at this location too. There's a pretty big organic/bio section, including bulk goods if you prefer to shop low waste (I think in general these are slightly more expensive per kilo than buying cans, but still very affordable). You can also get "ethnic" items here such as coconut cream, "Mexican" spice mix, and curry, although I find the options to be less varied than in America (I expect this is common throughout France and Europe, though). Since the store is pretty big, they've got a lot of check-out lanes, including multiple self check-out stations for customers with 10 items or less, so it's possible to get in and out pretty quickly, even during busy evenings. I do sometimes find the store a little hard to navigate--there's 2 separate freezer aisles so I often wind up at the frozen desserts when I'm actually looking for frozen vegetables, and if you make a wrong turn upon entering you just wind up at the self check-outs--but they seem to have made efficient use of the space available. This Carrefour location is conveniently located near lots of restaurants, boulangeries, and cafés, and would be easily accessible from metro stops on both Line 1 and Line 2.

All super bright, super fresh looking and full of items I've never even heard of. They have a full refrigerated section full of meats and cheeses and olives for all your charcuterie board needs. They also have an EXTENSIVE wine and champagne collection. They also sell liquor if you're looking for that. It's not just a few items it's 100s of alcoholic beverages for you to choose between. They also have household products and self care items as well. This really is a one stop shop if you're in the area. It's super clean and very organized which I appreciate. They do take card and as always bring your own bag!

Seemed much more compact and "efficient" than other I have seen in the past. A heavier emphasis on Artisan chocolates and Macaroons, made me feel like I was in a "tourist zone" instead of a posh neighborhood in Central Paris. The products were beautiful and merchandised in such a way, it seemed like a Tiffany shop, but for food, instead of jewelry. Worth a visit for sure...

This sweet little grocery store was the first store I went to when I first arrived in Paris since…read moreit couldn't be more conveniently located than right across the tiny street from my hostel. It is in my heart because it has everything I could ever want in such a small storefront. It has a salad bar with a wide variety of veggies and other goodies to create your favorite salad to take away. Plus, they have a solid produce section. They have a variety of dairy milk alternatives and they have quite the variety of yogurts, as far as what kind of milk you're looking for. For example, dairy, goat, sheep, low-fat, full-fat, with a particular fruit. They have so much more including non-food products such as toiletries and miscellaneous hardware stuff. Everyone is really friendly encouraging you to work on learning French.

The store is convenient since they do open early and close fairly late. They have plenty of things and since they have two floors of space you can find almost everything you need on your vacation. We bought from toothpaste, bread, jam, water, and much more. It was an easy checkout and we came back several times. Prices are good and the store is clean. If you are in the area this place is easy to shop in and you can pay cash or credit card.

Yes this location is in the mall and the mall is huge so once you get out of the parking lot you have to go up twice and take a right and you'll find a two floor store unusually over flowing with people and pretty good deals. The deli is so slow and they really don't like their job and the last two times I went this week both of them Have managed to either cut the meat to thick or start panicking because of the slight line up of 3 people is over whelming. Cashiers are friendly and I like that they have a line for people with disabilities or pregnant people as it shows they care about everyone. Deals are good we got 8 magnum ice cream bars for €3 euro which back home is not possible lol.

I was accosted by a young man of the delinquent, possibly homeless variety, who wanted to know if I spoke French and if I could help him have something to eat. My father taught me through example when I was young that if you can offer someone food directly that it was always better than only entrusting them with money, and so, I told him that I did speak French, and given that we were across the street from this Carrefour, I said okay. He went first to the premade food isle. He had pointed out his friend near the entrance as we strode in. His friend waved and was nursing a Heineken. I ignored this and focused on getting him something to eat and moving on. He picked up a couple ready made pastas (that could be eaten cold - they had no microwave out there on the street), some chocolate mousse (even the destitute have taste here in France) and two small lemonades. As I pulled out the money at the cash register to pay, the tight-lipped cashier quickly scanning the items, telling me everything I needed to know about this guy's song and dance by her body language, he had the audacity to ask for some money too. I told him no, politely, and as he continued to press, I waved goodbye and headed out onto the street. Was my good deed ruined? No. I'm sure that he did need food, and that he and his friend would have their hunger sated for at least a while. And I was a bit wiser for the experience, in a number of ways.
