This is a very nice Monoprix located in downtown Reims. It's inside a shopping center, but this…read moremassive Monoprix is part grocery store, part department store! If you're looking for some staples, this is your place. The grocery store has a great selection of local wine and spirits for decent prices. There's a lot of food too: fresh fruit, frozen items, bakery items, and must-haves for visitors in France, like bottled water and French butter for your baguettes! We loaded up on some wine and champagne for our stay, as well as a couple of staples to have for snacks and train rides. This Monoprix has clothing, souvenirs, toys, home goods, and more.

My favorite HEMA to shop at in Maastricht is definitely the one on Grote Straat. If you're from the…read moreU.S., HEMA is the equivalent to Target -- you can find everything here and will probably end up buying things you don't even need. Since this is one of the larger HEMA stores in Maastricht, you can explore the upstairs area and even find a small cafeteria. Downstairs, there's also a food section with a small bakery.
