Well, shopping is one thing that is never completed in a day but here are a few major places you can go out shopping to.

If you are a wise and smart shopper, you will understand that this will add up to your French Experience and these are things for you to treasure. It is a real feast of senses most of the times. Right from the bustle of French food markets to the shopping malls, you will get everything in your set budget.

Here are a few places that you can go to for shopping some basic amenities:

French Food Markets: Every village in France, no matter how small it is, will hold a weekly food market that is well supported by the local residents. In larger villages or townships there may be a market every day.

Traditionally, France has witnessed some extremely strict rules as to the opening and closing of shops, but in the last few years nothing like this has been witnessed and there are few shops that remain open 24 hours. After 2009 shops have been allowed to open on Sundays.

The mode of payment that you want to follow is entirely your decision. Most of the shops do accept credit and debit cards, using the chip and pin security method, however, in rural areas mostly cheque and cash are acceptable.

Whether you are visiting the rural or the urban side of France, you definitely have a lot to see, a lot to explore and a lot to shop.
