We usually shop at Grand Marche and stock up when we arrive on the island. I am wondering if anyone has shopped at the new Carrefour in Cole Bay? Is there much difference in selection, quality and price? Any info is appreciated.

The prices are cheaper , but be careful of some of products that are branded Carrefour, they are not that great.

Lesley--like, what, in particular have you not been happy with? We usually only shopped at GM and bought some Carrefour products there, and they were fine.

I bought some of their cookies and they were pretty good. The milk chocolate topped butter biscuits were very good. I liked the new Carrefour personally.

Hi Carol, I did heard a complain from someone on a cooking product which was not up to standard, however we do still shop there and also at Super U on the French side.

My Favorite on Island markets are Super U and Carrefour. Both have their strengths and very few weaknesses. I should add that the huge parking lot at the Super U and carts in the lot (bring a coin...quarter will do fine) and 1:1 were a game changer for that location .

I agree, I love the Super U! The 'hand' carts at Super U also have a nifty handle and you can sit them on the ground and wheel them. Unless a person has a LOT of stuff, they work fine, no need for the big cart.

On the main road between Orient Beach and Grand Case.

It's where the Match used to be, in Marigot.
