Yes folks, it's similar to a Walmart. However it's got some sharp uncanny differences. First of all Walmart does not have a kick-ass Champagne section. It also does not have the cheese selections as well. Well most of this is all over France but Auchan has a pretty good selection of both. What Auchan was fantastic for was the kids clothing. I was able to get my young daughter a bunch of France Euro 2016 outfits very inexpensive. I was more than happy. The retail experience is a bit bleh. Similar to on has shopping at a Walmart. Overall you don't come here to be blown away by the marvels of retailing. You come here for some downright rock bottom pricing on decent items. Overall a good trip to come up to the northers Auchan.
