Salamader: Shoes

by dr.firas

Salamander is one of the famous marks of Shoes!I have bought a pare of Shoes in Voronezh from the same mark, it was exspensive, but a very good high quality!There is lots of shops with this mark in Paris, and the same rules, exspensive but good! Euro

Carrefour

by dr.firas

The biggest and most modern Shopping centre of Carrefour as you see it here in Orleans, I thought it is the biggest Mall in Orleans, and i was right!you can find everything here, but the prices are not that cheap!

Bata: Shoes

by dr.firas

Bata is a famous mark for the shoes buisness!so there are many shops with this nams in the world, you can find good shoes and the prices well... it is of course exspensive when you have a good quality!

Tip Photo
Auchan: Auchan

by b1bob

Auchan is yet another hypermarket. Auchan's focus is on groceries and they sell other things as a supplement. That is opposite of Carrefour which is a department store with a grocery store in it. Groceries and more. The prices seemed reasonable enough.

Presents and Gifts

by dr.firas

If you are interested to buy some gifts for your friends and family, Versailles shops are very good solution for this, many souvenires, old pistols, swards, pictures, little statues, and lot more you can find in Versailles, the prices are resonable! In Euro

Tip Photo
Petit Casino: Petit Casino

by b1bob

Casino is a national chain of grocery stores which come in every shape and size. Some also have a cafeteria, which is right good. In the smaller towns, Petit Casino is just a smaller version of the grocery store. At Petit Casino, you can buy the basic foods. For more extravagant cuisine, go to the larger Casinos. Casino is rather reasonable as they are located in more modest neighbourhoods, not just the snooty side of town.

fnac: France's mega-bookstore!

by reon80

fnac was all over France; it's a chain of bookstores just like Barnes and Noble or Borders in the States; levels and levels of books and music and videos, even in smaller cities and towns, like Orleans. We loved shopping there, especially buying magazines, which, as in other European countries, usually come with really nice free stuff, such as books, scarves, even CDs!

Every super market: Nice souvenier

by Nelie

Well its just an ordinary everyday product. But the package make the salt La Baleine to an outstanding article. You can find it in every supermarket. It is really cheap and not such a common souvenir.
