I see this is almost four years old but I’m still enjoying it. I love grocery stores.😂 I watch a lot of expat videos from multiple countries since it’s unlikely I’ll ever live out of the US and I enjoy getting an ‘on the ground’ idea of what living in different parts of world is like for expats. So far your channel is the best I’ve watched.
this is not the biggest grocery store in france... there are MUCH bigger ones with 100(!) additional stores outside the grocery store and restaurants. These big grocery stores have about 50 cash checkouts.. or more...
Carrefour de Villiers-en-Bière, en Seine et Marne, avec 24 700 m² de surface de vente.
I like the locking carts system. Its a way to make sure they all don't end up all over the parking lot.
Since I was a little girl I always dreamed of living in Paris, or any part of France really. But I didn’t even get to visit France until I was 47, 3 yrs ago. I don’t think I will ever get to live there but I definitely want to visit again. I love your videos! I get to live out my French fantasy watching your vlogs!! Merci!!
I'm kinda obsessed with this channel.
Thanks for being here!
Il est préférable d acheter les pâtisseries et pain au chocolat en boulangerie ils sont meilleurs 👍
Pas toujours. Ma boulangerie fait moins bien les croissants que le Super U du coin qui a un boulanger et fait certaines choses sur place.
AlainNaigeon heureusement que ce n est pas le cas de tous les boulangers d être aussi nul lolllll c est comme rare de trouver un croissant meilleur en supermarché
@@titinotinmyname4609 malheureusement c'est de plus en plus courant, le boulanger du coin sois disant artisan boulanger de père en fils, fait du pain, des patisserie limite- limite, tandis que les jeunes apprentis a auchan font du pain et des patisseries du tonnerre
@@onarix That is sad! In the UK we used to have excellent, individual bakers but they have mostly closed due to the takeover of giant supermarkets.
@@TheAlanSaunders that is sad. Here in Canada the artisanal bakeries are starting up and really doing their part during this pandemic!
For many years we visited France from Portsmouth, England; a short drive to the Ferry Port for the 23:00 Ferry arriving in France at ~06:00 at any time of the year. One night in an Hotel or one or two weeks in a self-catering Gîte or a friends place. Of course, being English, we had to provide ourselves with "PG Tips Teabags" but otherwise we would seek out every local delicacy. Occasionally a Restaurant menu would confuse us! e.g. My wife ordered "ris de veau" that she thought was a rice (riz) dish. I swapped my order with hers and even requested a spoon to eat the delicious sauce.
LOVE Ris de Veau !!
Hello from New Jersey
First we had Aldi from Germany, now we also gave Lidl. They just opened one across the street from the high school.
This supermarket reminds me of the chic-chic Whole Foods here.
Merci.
Hello,
For chicken, but also for a whole bunch of other products, it's important to specify (compared to the more expensive price) that the standards of breeding or planting, feed given to animals, etc. are much more drastic in France than in the USA. In our country, no hormones, very few antibiotics, if at all, no GMOs, less sulphate, chemical dyes, etc.
This is why Americans who come to France often find the taste of the products much better than in the United States.
If you want to buy a good chicken, it's better to buy a "poulet fermier" for example.
The breeding regions are also often very important.
In France, we know for example that for beef we'll previle meat from Limousin. For poultry, we will rather choose Gers poultry, etc. (Limousin and Gers are French regions, like Normandy or Brittany. And each region in France has its culinary specialties)
Diane, thank you sooo much for giving us the French pronunciation for items!
One of my favorite things to do when I go to another country is go to the grocery store!
We have deposit carts here in America. Aldi’s grocery stores have them.
Aldl in France is like hard discount food grocery, no quality of food.... But for America it's amazing
What I like is bookstores or magazine. I notice in aNew York city walking g tour share, not many bookstores on the streets , guess they go to a mall
For the sake of completeness, delis can be found in Charcuterie shops or in Charcuterie sections of an average supermarket. They will slice you, several salted ham (Bayonne, parme...), Baked ham, Ventrèche, Lard, roasted pork, mortadelle, salamis, etc. Here size of the shop maters to get more choices...
You are very nice to zoom in some of the refrigerated area like showing us the cheeses and explaining about then without going too fast. Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed it!
cheese in france is a seperated show. English speaking guys are often dyslexic
in cheese knowlegde. Think about "cheddar" ... tastes like nothing 🙂
Hi Diane!
My name is Skye😀
Nice to meet you!
I just found out that I’m over 60% French!
Which I suspected as I’m drawn to everything French from the food, decor and Culture. I’m interested in knowing more! And I’d like to learn French ❤️👌
French from......Alsace ???
If you believe Thomas Jefferson we are all spiritually French: we all have two homes our own and Paris (may not be exact quote)
In the USA we have aldi's. That you put in a quarter and then you get it back .
I'm currently learning French with Duolingo. I found this video so helpful! I don't mind the longer videos; you can really go in depth on a subject. You really shouldn't worry about the length of your videos; when I don't want to look at a longer video, I just look for a short one. LOL
For these live walks, they are all 30-min plus for my FB community and I repurposed them for YT. So glad you enjoy the long content!
you have to put Bonne Maman intense into the frigo after opening, it contents less sugar.
The bonne maman cookies are very good too. But my favorite cookie are Galettes Bretonne with Butter de la Bretagne. When we as germans are in supermarches (this one you show is far away from the biggest) the only US or british Product we buy is tea. Very good also the Pulain chocolate powder, contents more than 50% chocolate amd less sugar. And try the various of milk based products, fresh fish and seafood 🙂And don´t buy wine at the supermarket, take your choice during a degustation at the winemaker. That is more important that to buy eggs directly.
I live in San Francisco and The cheese made in the US is outrageously expensive!!!
Hi Diane,
My husband and I are thinking of a vacation in France and want to rent a house in a small town, we haven’t decided. Your videos have been so helpful. I love watching. Thanks so much and please do more.
You're very welcome! So happy to hear it!
In another vlog this lady commented on the over-cooling (65F) A/C in the USA. Even in the UK the chilled and frozen aisles were too cold but new and modernised stores now have doors on their chilled and freezer shelves just like this modern, French supermarket.
This is still my favorite video and I watch it repeatedly! It’s so well done , Diane .
So glad you like it ;-)
Morning Dianne I'm Kate Russell and I absolutely love and adore the French culture
Thank you, thank you! I discovered your wonderful presentations on life in France yesterday. I love French chocolate. I do drink it out of a special bowl because it reminds me of being a child enjoying the special moment with my Dad many years ago. Today, at 76 years old, the only French product I buy for myself is a jar of Bone Kaman apricot preserves for $4.46. I will see you soon. Happy New Year!
N'oubliez pas la baguette.😉
Thank you Diane. This is a great remembrance from my childhood. I really miss the Co-op, or even the Mamouth where we used to shop, in Saint-Brieuc.
Unfortunately Mammouth supermarkets no longer exist, they were bought by Auchan at the end of the 90s
There s so much more food variety than in the US. The yogurt isle is so huge.
Thanks for the video
Love the dialogue about TP! Was floored and delighted with 5-ply we had in a rental in Montpelier. Of course, you can't get that in the US, but when they say 'one sheet' works, they aren't kidding! lol
Diane I love seeing you go through the the grocery store perhaps you're goofy with drugstore or clothing store sometime and tell Matt to live have a great day and a good week enjoy that baguette it looks good
Love to see the videos on France,, specially the food stores,,markets,,,my both children live in france,,nw,,hope to visit these stores in person soon😊
Well done Dianne, covered it well. I am just down the road (a way) In Southern Deux-Sevres. I agree about store brand produce, it is good stuff. I work in a Fromage factory (chevre), our own brand is upper price range but most of our production is store own branded. Intermarche, E. Leclerc, Super U, Casino & Carrefour are buyers. So when you savour that "crottin" you will know why it's so good with a glass of cabernet Anjou or muscadet sur lie !
The charcuterie is where you'll find all your cold-cuts meat. There are tons of salami, ham, etc. at the charcuterie. That would be the equivalent of lunch meats. The only difference is that the charcuterie has better quality cold cuts than regular processed lunch meats, and they'll cut it for you.
Thank you for giving us a piece of France. I enjoyed your videos so much!
Hello from Paris…..MERCI Diane …You are fantastic….
So glad I found your channel.
I am from Australia and love 🇫🇷.
I love getting an insight of the day to day life of the French life . 😀
I enjoy watching this video. Very informative and entertaining
Glad you enjoyed it!
Très original ^_^
Intermarché doesn't provide much choices in products, it's somewhat limited, it could be nice to do same video inside a (big) Leclerc or a Carrefour, then foreigners could appreciate the differences :-)
PS : "hyper" marché is bigger than "super" marché, anywhere ;-)
Dying over all the selection of boursin and rondele! Would you be willing to do a video about the average French person's "what I eat in a day"? I think that would be interesting. Side note: I pay $2.50/dozen USD. Organic. Cage free
Thx Diane to mention how to adress someone in a shop... I see tourists year around ordering without greetings and getting a cold shoulder without understanding the faux pas...
So happy an Inter-marché opened in Paris near me. They have great deals! The inter-marché outside Paris are humongous...utterly thrilling!!
I’m really enjoying your channel, please continue!
Loved this...I miss France & your video made me smile! Thank you for sharing xx
Wow! The prices two years ago are still less than in Canada. Especially the fish! Our fish and deli are always priced at per 100gr. And they charge the earth for 100gr!
Canada is super expensive. Don't think that France is cheap 😂
Visit to a charcuterie would great!!! That’s my fav store by far!!! Wellllllll, along with patisserie of course.
Another thing you should mention is that all prices that you see have the VAT already included.
Having the tax already included is a big deal for Europeans. Many Europeans compare it favorably to the practice in the US of showing the price before sales tax. The sales tax rate can vary from state to state in the US. Where I live it is 2.5% for food and 5.3% for everything else. No tax on prescriptions. I wonder what the tax percentage is in Europe. Could it be more than 5 or 6 percent? Since it's included in the price, the amount charged you does not have the prominence that it has in the US.
VAT in France is 20%.
@@mkelling69 Thanks, Mark. Since I'm paying 5.3% in the US in addition to the price shown on the item I'm purchasing, and the price shown in France, and probably the rest of the EU, already has a 20% tax included in the price shown on the same item...who is paying more?
@@mojojim6458
I just look at the total price including whatever tax there is to determine who pays more since the tax, either VAT or sales tax, is not optional. Where I have lived in the US there has never been any extra taxes added to any food purchased in a grocery store (with the exception of hot prepared meals or other things sold in what the state considers ready to eat form which means with a fork or spoon included) so that makes it easy to see which is the higher cost.
@@mkelling69 Well, I'm wagering that if you buy the same item twice, once with a 5.3% tax and once with a 20% tax, the purchase with the 20% tax will cost more.
You are very informative, this is soo interesting.
And you seem like a lovely person . I hope there are more videos to come.
I love cadburys chocolate as in the UK but having trouble seeing it in France, they probably don’t have it. I like the creamy taste that melts in your mouth. Still trying to find a French comparative. There was French vodka in Lidl for those who want vodka, after import restrictions. There’s French Baileys version and Baileys. You can find pork heads, tripe, snails, rabbit, brains in various supermarkets. I’m veggie though. I do find veggie foods which is good.
I Love to shop the stores in France. I can spend hours in there..
La nourriture a l'air délicieuse, si fraîche et savoureuse. Je veux y aller pour mon épicerie!
Ayyyyy, citrus allergy friend
Though mine has gone away along with several others according to my last allergist visit, it was really tough avoiding citrus for years
This is a nice grocery store. In Texas we have HEB, and this looks kind of like it.
Great job!!! Fun!! So interesting! Enjoying your video! Sending love and health from Santa Barbara Ca.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤩😘🙋❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️‼️
Super markets are huge, miss them so much! Lived in Brittany for 15 years. Your blog on doctors was spot on!
Lovely and very accurate presentation. CAN ONLY CONGRATULATE for this video.
Loved you said can ask for taste for the cheese, loved you said in some store you have to weight the product as they do not at the casher etc we have so many different product to choose from that is impossible for to know all and it is not stupit but opposite if you ask for advice.
Bonjour! Lovely grocery store! Very well stocked! I would be in trouble in the bread, chocolate (Cote d'Or) wine and cheese sections!
Hehehe, I love seeing what everyone is eating lol
I met a lady with a citrus allergy when I lived in Washington State many years ago, also she was deathly allergic to chocolate; she was our next door neighbor in fact. My own daughter has a severe allergy to cinnamon and pine, most trees in fact. Cinnamon coated pine cones (popular as a decorative item in the autumn) would be like a grenade to her.....have teased her about lobbing them at her with a cinnamon broom but of course I wouldn't do that.........
Prices for fresh fruit and veg shocked me compared to the UK, seems very expensive here in France. I’m still trying to find potato salad, I used to get a gorgeous one in from fromage frais in UK Lidl but can’t seem to find it here. I find Super U is good for vegetarians. You can’t get vege bacon but the soya bits are the substitute I use. The ladies in the supermarkets on the tills have been wonderfully helpful to us. I can get cheddar, my favourite cheese which I’m incredibly pleased about. There’s often a small British products section but it’s mega expensive and some items I never even saw in the UK.Jam isn’t generally cheap but I can get marmalade which is nice. Trying to find custard has anyone tried the creme anglaise, is it the same? Plenty of choice for coffee but tea isn’t cheap and limited selection.
Well first the prices written often are the prices of a kilo of the product. And then one pound is 1,17 euros so 25 pounds is 30 euros
Awesome video. I'm learning French so this video is so good to know all the stuff they have in a supermarket and part of there culture too. Love it thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just loved this! I bought a bottle of wine at Walmart last week... just for the pretty bottle (it had a floral motif in the glass). It was a whopping $17!! Upon closer inspection it was imported from France! LOL I couldn't believe Walmart was carrying it. The name of it is Fleurs de Prairie - Vin de Provence. I was looking for it but didn't see it on your wine aisle. ha Something else I've been buying here in the states is French Vanilla Pudding Petit Pot. It's to die for! It's expensive also. $2 for a single little small serving. I had to look up a recipe so I can start making it myself because I will never go back to American pudding. Now I'm going to have to go to Whole Foods and see if I can find that Gavottes brand. I'm having so much fun binge watching your fantastic videos!
ouch!! Fleur de prairie is about 6.50 to 7.50 €uros , it's a decent wine. But anything With authentic Bourbon Vanillla (from REUNION Island, french overseas territory) will be very expensive overseas.
This is very informative - and one day I hope, helpful! I want to move there!
Always lovely to have a nosy around other countries' shops. Interesting to see the differences between France and the UK. Thank you xx
Hi Diane. Thank you for taking us in the grocery store. I have been curious about this.
You are so welcome
One of my biggest frustrations when visiting France is that I can't find cereal that isn't chock full of sugar. Also, a lot seems to have coconut which I don't like. And I really enjoy cereal for breakfast. Regarding egg processing, I live in Mexico and they too do not remove the protective coating on eggs so they don't need to be refrigerated. I suspect the US is one of the few countries that does this.
Actually there are corn-flakes and rice krispies...those are the only cereals that aren't full or sugar.
And oatmeal
To me, I've always heard that eggs cannot be stored in the fridge because their porous shell absorbs all odors. ;)
@@tilebby
This was very informative. Thanks!
Loved this, thank you for sharing
This channel is fantastic!! I love the patience and care you show the products, it allows us to see details, love it. I would like to know if it is possible for you to film a French cheese market. Personally, I think that French traditional, antique, and old fashion stores are amazing! especially those which sell cheese and charcuterie, they are lovely!! Thanks.
Bonjour, thanks for watching! I just published a video a couple of hours ago (French market visit) that shows a bit of cheese. I'd love to do more videos on French cheese so maybe leave a comment on that new video and if others are interested too, it'll be feedback for me to definitely do a cheese video!
We have it here in Quebec in a Maxi store , some don't click it back in .Many bring it close to their bus stop, or some to the metro, some in my area straight to their houses .We have seen lots of homeless people use them for their personal cart .May use for this product .Some stores hire people to pick them up in our city
Really enjoy these videos!!!
I love watching this so nice to see !
Thanks for this. Loved it!
Love love love your videos!!!!
Processed meat more limited in France?!? What is charcuterie then? And the butcher stand is not like in America. More choices. Different cuts. And the chicken being more expensive, that's the "Poulet fermier", farm free range chicken. Delicious.
Thank the Lord Charcuterie is NOT processed meat!!!
Great video -- keep em coming!
* I think you didn't mentioned but I guess it's important to be told, prices are always taxes included, so no bad surprises at the cashier when it's time to pay.
* Also, for each product, price per piece or pack, packet, is indicated but also price per kilo (or liter for liquids) is displayed and very useful ^_^
* I guess machines 24/24h don't have much success, I stay in a small town, but 2 machines for pizza and an another one for fresh milk closed after few months ...
* Idea : it could be nice to display pets shop or also the food pets aisle.
Fascinating to know these things! I loved this video. I wish we would include tax in the prices in the States, not get that huge shock at the cash register!
Just watched the replay! Love it!
Allergic to citrus!!! Oh what a true shame!!! I could never survive in Paris, I am gluten intolerant with Celia so I might just ask you to sit down and eat the pastry and breads for me lol lol lol. You are lovely and this is so much fun, thank you!!!
What you haven't mentioned is the smell in a French supermarket. It must be the charcuterie, bread and most of all the cheese. Its unique..!
🇨🇵💙🤩
Great video...thanks!
Salut Diane,
Thank you for another great video.
I too, love the surgelés Pickard. In the the dairies/deserts section fromage blanc (thick yoghurt), the compotes and chocolate mousses are my favs.
A visit in an Electrical/Technology store like Darty or a Home and Furniture store would be great.
Passes un Joyeux Noel et de Bonnes Fètes de fin d'année!
Omg u are awsome I love the clarity,you are detailed thank you
You're very welcome!
@@OuiInFrance ,,do that have sweet milk in a tube
Hi Mary, yes I believe I've seen that product. It's in a plastic tube like toothpaste in the baking aisle next to canned milks, etc. ;-)
I admire your patience
Aldi is a German-based store, as is Trader Joe's (though maybe that one is without the 's also?). The only store in the U.S. that has the coin slots on their carts is Aldi. When you described this, it immediately made me think of them. Is it much more common in Europe or other parts of the world?
Is the "chocolate bread" you spoke of brioche, or something else?
Love your videos!
Definitely I love so much that channel!!!!
8:48 I'll buy the pre-cut mushrooms from the produce section and add them to a frozen sausage pizza.
I like watching your grocery store videos. From what I've seen, Americans shouldn't have too much trouble navigating their way around a French grocery store. While they don't have drug stores or pharmacies attached it's still pretty familiar.
Diane, in Mythology you are well aware that you are The Huntress. How true for you. You're on the hunt for delicious French foods. Mais oui!
Loved it 🎉❤️
J' ame au Paris!
I like to bring my camera into grocery stores and take photographs of the produce and prices, so this is a welcome surprise. Thank You!! I am in Northern California.
Really enjoying your channel. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
écrémé (green caps) is 0.1%, demi-écrémé (blue) is generaly 1.5% not 2% and entier (red caps) is 3.5% and more for milk. The same colour scheme is applied to cream or fresh cheese but the percentages are different (~0%, ~4% and ~8%).
These type videos are awesome
if u want good french products you have products with a "label rouge" sign or "AOP" also the bread is better in a real "boulangerie" than in a big grocerie store (in general)
Awesome video! I'm working on my masters degree and my personal research subject is on France. It's so interesting watching your videos after spending hours on the French government website. I learned by mistake how important food is to the French culture!
As a Frenchman I am both honoured and intrigued. France is a quite wide "topic". What will you focus on ? Culture ? History ? Sciences ? Miliitary ? Each of these fields deserve a full library.
I know you made this video a long time ago, but I just found your channel and I love it! Will you make more of these? I am so interested in everything French, and I love learning about the everyday life things.
Hi Cindy, welcome and glad you enjoy my content! I've done a bunch of grocery store content besides this one, although not live streamed, so just scroll back and you'll find videos on supermarket souvenirs, a tour of Monoprix, Aldi, Christmas faves and more ;-)
Great information. Thanks
My my my, after so much work you ended up without your baguette, What a place!!
Im loving this channel and i love tbe pharmacy too
So glad!
Our best French bakery is Reynauds! Yum! Authentic everything!!! Delicious beyond! Love from Santa Barbara! He also sells his stuff in a great grocery store called Gelsons!♥️🙏🏻
I saw some pictures on the web. It looks delicious and well made. Lucky you. Greetings from France.
@@smoker_joe 😉💁♀️❣️
@@suecastillo4056 Even better, according to those pics, prices are the same as here.
The owner is honest.
Are you kidding ? I am French and here , Reynaud has a very bad reputation. Reynaud only exists thanks to its foreign franchises. It has almost disappeared in France.
@@antoinemozart243 PAUVRE FRANCE
Many of these Fench products are available here in Canada.
Every thing is nice ❤️
Omg this is good one i love your explanation.
Glad you liked it! Thank you
@@OuiInFrance may I ask what city of this hypermarché?
