Superette Beaumarchais - attractive fresh produce display in front

Among the superettes along Boulevard de Beaumarchais, this was our chosen one (and conveniently…read moreclosest to our hotel). This superette has the most attractive arrangement of produce just under the awning. Not only was it nicely arranged, but it also always looked super fresh and ready to eat. Inside is super tiny (about four aisles), but you will find everything from beverages (juice, water, soda) to sandwiches to cookies to carrefour suchard candy (oui oui). Prices are reasonable, and there's a good selection of pantry, produce, and other miscellaneous items that you'd find at a regular market and convenience store. I believe a father/son own this superette, as we saw the son every night (of our 6 nights in Paris), and his father on one of the nights. You can tell they take great pride in their superette. We would always see the son rearranging the produce or organizing the beverages. Every night, we would stop in so Mom could buy her one produce item-banana (for the next morning). He always greeted us very warmly, and with that smile of recognition (like he'd say to himself, "Hey, it's these ladies again.. Nice to see them again type of thing"). He'd ring us up very happily, and say something to us in French (which I believe was complimentary as he was smiling at us and laughing with us). One night, we even surprised him and bought more than just the produce, but water, suchard candy, and gum. Even though he spoke little English, we knew he was appreciative and happy to see us. It's like coming home every time we walked into Superette Beaumarchais. Will miss seeing our friend and daily visits at Superette Beaumarchais. Until next time, Au revoir...

On our first night in Paris, we were much too exhausted from traveling to go out for dinner;…read moreluckily this wonderful little shop around the corner had everything we needed for "le repas du soir" in our room, all of excellent quality and so reasonably priced (at home the wine alone would have cost what I paid for everything). Shopkeeper was very kind. A wonderful find.

Superette Beaumarchais - I think all of this cost around 13€... at home the wine and salami alone would have cost that

As a chain of grocery stores all around Paris, Franprix provides a pretty comprehensive supply of…read moregroceries in a location near you. When reading Les Miserables in high school, always wondered why cheese was such a crucial part of every French meal (even prisoners would get the daily allotment of food with bread and cheese). This location was just across the street from our hotel, and was an easy way to pick up supplies for a simple dinner on our 3rd night in Paris. Grocery store bread and cheese...in Paris it's still better than what you might get in a gourmet shop back in the states. The tax for food is 5.5% while alcohol is 20%. Ended up getting 6 things, all of which were great. Some oranges imported from Israel for 3,99€ per kg, with 2 oranges being 1,48€ (even though they seem dry, they were very juicy and sweet). Butter and french bread prices are strictly regulated: a large square of butter for 1,7,5€, a baguette for ,69€. Got some ham pieces for 2,5€ and a large wedge of cheese for 2€. The most expensive thing was the wheat beer for 3,25€, and it was excellent. Some interesting things they had: a self-service salad bar and self-service mochi bar filled with different flavors. They have self-checkout lines, but figured it might be best to have someone scan everything because of the written language barrier. One thing to note: they were closing off the sections that let you pick up alcohol at 17:00....there must be some sort of local regulation on that.
