Heard on another thread that a Super U was going to be opening at Hope Estates? Is there a supermarket there right now?
Thanks

Yes, Cocci is a very nice, but small market. On the idea of Petit Casino. They carry produce, meats, frozen foods, beverages, household items, most everything that you would need.

Runnernreader--I thought there was something open there in Hope Estate, at least with some minimal groceries? (not Petit Casino or Cocci...) Maybe not..

Yes,there are a couple of small shops down Cul de Sac and we have them used them over the past 20 years or so.... they're convenience stores
But in the Hope Estates there is a market called the HOPE MARKET and they have just about anything you need at reasonable prices; it's like a corner store with more "stuff". Lots of American Stuff, if you need American Stuff.
Further ..we use LEADER PRICE ( http://www.ccmvsxm.com/?lang=en#sectionboutiques!loading) which is nearby as well and I include from an earlier post asking about champagne ...... "In France, Leader Price, is considered the place that French Locals buy their booze. Leader Price is reopened and right across from the Cadissco gas bar nearby! Their stock in years past varies from day to day, week to week, but we've always found the booze of all kinds there reasonable .... at times, cheap. I walk there from Mont Vernon in 18 minutes and my backpack holds 6 bottles of wine .....!!!!!" One of my favourite white wines there is ALICE ... from Pays d'OC, Sauvignon Blanc @ 3.99 Euros a bottle!!!!
We've just spent the last 5 weeks at Mont Vernon ... with a car for one day to shop at Carrefour ..and then, another car for a week ..and then nothing .......SO ...for most of the time, I've been using Leader Price ...I've become the consummate French Shopper (our son lived in France ...and we visited often and got very acclimated to daily shopping). Leader Prices has daily baking, roasted chickens, charcuterie, lots of frozen meats and basic needs (follow a French shopper ..for the best buys), and a good variety of produce (not everything, every day ..but lots over the course of several days).
Try it .. all the locals buy there!

OK, thanks. I thought there was something there. I think I was thinking of Leader Price. Do you consider that Hope Estates, or not? I was never quite clear what IS Hope Estates and what is not..

OK, thanks. I know where the Cadissco is. As I said, I wasn't sure where Hope Estates is supposed to start and stop. We are going to be staying close to Grand Case in June, so will probably check it out in person then.

Leader Price sounds great. One question, can we buy everything we need there in terms of groceries? Is it a full service supermarket?
Thanks

Hmmm, I thought from this thread that Leader Price was directly across from Cadisco gas station? Cadisco gas station sells wine?

I used to do Diet Pepsi for years, until I discovered the caffeine prevents me from sleeping! Anyway, IF anyone is there otherwise, would appreciate your checking to see if they have Bacardi Limon and Tanqueray there at Leader Price..

pandp and Ollie--Thanks and thanks. This trip, we're not planning to spend much time on the Dutch side at all, so French side options are best, for now.
