If you want to see how Supermarkets can do things properly try E. Leclerc (think Waitrose+ on steroids). The one in Moulins (Avermes) is handy for le Grand Bal de l'Europe in July. They call them hypermarkets. Can't work out value/prices, it is all in toy money. And the self check-outs have differing machines, some cash, some no cash, all identified in a foreign lingo. But on the plus side they have three flags on-screen (if you spot them) so they will speak English once you are committed to credit card rather than dumping all your Euros. Which ain't obvious till it's too late. I'm sure Senoufou would be in seventh heaven. And there is always Cidre Deux to take away the irritations............ Oliver Cromwell house gin ? a bit puritan if you ask me, and don't ask me to drink it. Mind you I know where there is a juniper tree (bush?) and it even has a mesh cradle to place your blanket on as you shake the tree.
