I have been going to Rural Master for my gardening needs for a few years now. The selection,…read moreprices, and staff are all great. 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.

This garden shop was an excellent selection of vegetable plants, shrubs, fruit trees, citrus trees,…read moreflowering plants, decorative items and garden accessories. All of the plants I have received from here have thrived and the staff is very friendly.

Gamm Vert is my go to spot for garden items and sheep food. You can buy anything that you need to…read moretend to your garden, including tools, fertilizer (natural only), seeds, clothing, soil, and live plants. The plant selection is wonderful and includes succulents, rose bushes, vegetables, fruit shrubs, and other ornamentals. This is a popular location so parking can be somewhat limited during peak times, like the late afternoon or weekends. Try going in the morning if possible. There is also a tendency to have long lines during peak hours. Notwithstanding these small negatives, the positives outweigh these points: their in-house brand of sheep food is very reasonably priced, the plants available are hardy and long-lasting, and aisles are well-stocked. My two favorite things about the store are the customer rewards program and the bulletin board. Unlike many other rewards programs here, you receive money back on purchases, which is usually in the form of a 7 Euros coupon to be used at a later date. The bulletin board has local events and trades people listings. So helpful!

We went to Weldom after noticing that the trash bins at our vet's office were effective at dealing…read morewith strong odors. Weldom was across the street and we went there after a vet appointment to buy the same ones. The store is on the smaller side but makes the best use of space. There are lots to offer for your hardware needs and prices are fair. The store is owned by the same parent company as Leroy Merlin and they have a lot of the same items. For us, although Weldom has a smaller collection, they are considerably closer to us than Leroy Merlin.

This Game Vert is located near the Super Intermarché in Boulogne-sur-Gesse. There is lots of…read moreparking available. Notwithstanding the size of the store (although it is not as big as the location in Estancarbon), there is not a wide selection of products. There is a smaller amount of plants to chose from even during peak planting season and they usually need watering. The store is also really dark and I often walk out of the store empty handed even though I needed something. I usually end up buying it in Estancarbon. It is a good resource for local artisans and events, as the bulletin board near the entrance/exit has lots of helpful information. The staff is pleasant, although there is rarely someone on the floor to offer assistance.

Pyrénées Plants has the largest selection of plants in my area. There are plants for your potager,…read moreshrubs, trees, perennials and annuals. They also have a large selection of olive trees of varying sizes (and prices). Pyrénées Plants also offers delivery and planting services for large trees. Overall, the staff is very helpful with choosing plants and even speak English (if you like). I like that they have plants that are not generally available locally at other garden stores.

Ioburo is an office supply store that is the equivalent of Office Max or Staples. I usually come…read morehere for color copies, pens, and envelopes as paperwork is very much alive and well in France. Prices on goods and services are fair. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The store is also very well staffed. Lines are short and there is always someone there to help you find things. The location is very good, as it is in the large shopping plaza in Estancarbon. There is plenty of parking available as well.

Yes, it is a funny name in English but "but" means goal in French. This store sells a wide variety…read moreof items but helped us on several occasions to set up our home in France. The store sells appliances, kitchens, furniture, mattresses and other decor. We purchased a bed and mattress, a portable mattress, and most recently a couch. The couch is super comfortable and has storage. We received a discount because they were having an anniversary sale on top of the sale price. The staff was helpful and showed us a variety of couches. Delivery was not an option but we were able take it home on our own.
