I really like E. Leclerc... Or as the French would say "LeClerc"…read more It's a huge supermarket that sells practically everything you need in life: food, clothing, kitchen supplies, gardening supplies, small appliances, etc... In case you didn't know, most of the French shop in these megastores which include Auchun, Carrefour, and E. Leclerc. This location is in a mall in which there are clothing boutiques, an Orange mobile store, pharmacy, and even a Subway. You can literally spend hours in here without realizing it. Make sure you know what to get because once you leave a department, then it's a looooooong walk to back for the forgotten eggs. I speak from experience =) Bring your own bags and pack your own bags.

They have a book section with lots of road maps and they also carry utilitarian items like padlocks, paper towels, toiletries, and basically everything a traveler spending 2 weeks in France could ever need. English is sparse but the layout and process are easily figured out. Some smaller American bank debit cards won't process so be sure to have a bit of cash if you use a Credit Union. Bank of America was fine though. Easy to get to, lots of variety and as I said, a traveler's helper for sure!
