Apart from cheaper booze what else is good value in France Forums

Hi and thanks for reading my post.
Now that the broken arm is mended we are off to France again in June.
We (me and SWMBO) were wondering what else may be good to buy in france. Not that we intend to spend all our time in the shops but we just wondered if there was anything that you guys knew was a good money saver. Or perhaps things for the van that that you cant get here.
For example, our freinds bought us some extending thingys for the fridge that go across the front of the shelves and stop stuff falling out. I have only seem them here once.

Just thoughtb this would be good advice for me and other people going for the first time.

We will go down the Normandy coast and hopefully get as far as Brittany

Thanks again
Phill

Set of Tefal cooking pans that come with a detachable handle and fit inside each other saving loads of space. Available in most large supermarkets.

Pinneau de Charentes - lovely sherry like fortified wine, unavailable in UK

Toilet rolls that fit my toilet roll holder in the Hymer. Smaller than ones over here.

Oh and aircon units for home so my mate tells me.

It is unlikely that things across the brook are cheaper with the Euro where it is. I have heard that Ethiopians are organising duty free shopping trips over here particularly in our cool summers. Shocked

Wine. Mustard. Olive oil, and all the above.

If you get to Brittany. Go to Le Gouffre near Plougrescant. Magical place. Aire in Treguier at bridge by the river. Nice town and walks by river.

We love Brittany. If you have any question just ask.
