This is my favorite grocery store when I come to Paris. There is a nice variety of literally…read moreeverything you can think of. From food to souviners and even a wide selection of alcohol (beer,wine,liqour)for the low (if that's your thing). Don't want a six pack of a soda/beer no biggie just open it and take The number you want. They can be sold individually here. Everyone does it! The checking out process is a little chaotic but just be patient and you'll be fine.
There are the normal self checkout debacles, (although their machines do let you choose your language of choice) so you can at least see where you failed in the scanning process. Which will just mean you will need to constantly flag down the poor store clerk that's working that area for the day. Every other item you scan will have an issue and that staffer is working with about 8ish self checkout station so again patience is the name of the game here. If you choose to go to an actual cashier that is supposed to assist you with buying your items, this experience will be hit or miss. Meaning only 1 or 2 lanes are actually open and the cashier either have a horrible attitude or they are very helpful. Today was the first time in a long time I had someone who was actually helpful. In this store there are mainly locals, so very little tourist action. But don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. But if you're like me, legit sometimes you don't want hotel food or eat out. Nor do you want to spend $20 on random snacks from the room, when you can got local and stock up on what you want for less $$$. They are closed on Sundays like most places in Paris. Hours are 8:30am-10pm Monday-Sat. Saturday mid afternoon tend to be a madhouse and the shelves are depleted. You've been warned, plan accordingly.
