8 À Huit

I definitely prefer this place to a Carrefour or Monoprix. The selection is limited due to the size, but I do most of my (non fresh market) shopping here and I’m pretty satisfied with my experience! Prices aren’t bad and I definitely recommend a yogurt they sell — la fermière (plain or vanilla).

Nur zu empfehlen, wenn man unbedingt und schnell etwas braucht. Ansonsten sollte man eher zum Carrefour gehen, der nicht einmal 5 Minuten entfernt ist, da das 8 à huit eher wie ein teurer Kiosk ist. Die Auswahl ist allerdings größer als in einem Kiosk.

A small little French grocer that was right outside my hotel. The selection is not as big, but it was convenient for us to just pop down for things we didn’t have. We only really used this grocer toward the beginning of the trip when we weren’t yet familiar with our surroundings. If you venture out about 5 minutes, there’s a large Carrefour Market with better selection. They have most things a groceries store would carry, just less selection; fruits, cereal, cookies, bread, cheese, milk, laundry detergent, snacks etc.
Funny note:
I went to the 8 à Huit after having gone to pick up a coffee from McDonald’s. I put down my coffee cup to get money, and the cashier/​owner picked up my cup and tried to scan it, and then consequently spilled half my coffee. I guess it was more frustrating than anything — have you seen me without my morning caffeine fix? Not pretty!

A decent little French grocer for fruits, vegetables, cereal, cookies, bread, cheese, and milk. Prices are reasonable and it’s a good place to go if you need to stock up on some food during your trip. Their French bread is quite good too.
