Shopping for food; wine and Fuel

Food; wine and Fuel
Carrefour super market has the cheapest fuel we have found. It is at the bottom of the hill so out of the apartment, drive down to the cross roads straight over down to a T junction. Turn left go for about 600m and there it is on your right. This is also the main road into Samoens.

We have checked all the local super markets and they are around the same price as the Carrefour. there are all types of food you would like. Remember all shops shut between 12 midday and 3pm every day. Sundays (most shops open in Sunday morning).

Money is easy to get, there is a large number of cash points in the village. Most places take cards but it’s wise if you go to clothing stores to have photo ID with you they some times ask for it with card payments.
