Holy moly…. I finally found the French version of target, but wait it gets better because it is a Target, Wal-Mart, and Costco all in one. It’s like they took the best of all three and combined it into one store. Laetitia and her sister, Cecile, are having a party with their friends to celebrate their birthday. (oh I’m in Paris for the weekend by the way) Laetitia, her mom, and I had to do some shopping to prepare for the party so off we went to Auchan, that’s the name of my new favorite store. So this store Auchan, it has great shoes and clothes like Target and their home good’s section is outstanding. They have all the cutest serving platters, glassware, and dishes just like Target. All of this is located on the second floor, yes that’s right it’s 2 stories high and it gets better because they have this huge conveyer belt that takes you and your cart to the second floor. It was amazing. The bottom floor is like Wal-Mart, they have aisles upon aisles of food, but they have a better selection than Wal-Mart because they carry everything. You know what I mean cause sometimes Wally-World doesn’t have everything you need and you have to run to Harris Teeter or Foodtown. I was truly amazed by their cheese selection, 4 aisles with both sides of the shelves pact to the gills with cheese. Anything great find in the grocery section is the chips, now they don’t nearly have as big as selection in the US but they do have some interesting flavors, for example: cheeseburger, chicken and thyme, bacon, and bolognaise. Now I’ve only tried the chicken flavored chips and I’m not a fan. Maybe it’s me but it’s kinda weird when a chip tastes like meat…right? But I’ve digressed back to Auchon, it also has samples in some spots, just like Costco and some things even some in bulk packaging. I’m beginning to think that France really isn’t that much different than the US.
