I have been going to Rural Master for my gardening needs for a few years now. The selection,…read moreprices, and staff are all great. I recently started using their online order and in-store pick up service. It has made dealing with large purchases much easier. They will even put the items directly from the pallet into our van. It has made shopping even easier.

This is a combination appliance and furniture store. We stopped in to buy a guest rollaway bed…read morebecause we have a young child who will be visiting in a week and she is too young to stay in her own room (this way she can sleep with her parents). Conforama had exactly what we wanted. A rollaway bed with a decent mattress. The transaction was quick and efficient once we were able to (finally) connect with a sales associate. He arranged to have it delivered to the loading bay, and then we simply paid and picked up around the back. The only reason why I am taking a star off is that there were a couple of associates standing around talking, and did not seem willing to help us. However, the person who did end up selling is the mattress was very helpful and polite. Their prices are very reasonable and they have a good selection of items.

Gamm Vert is my go to spot for garden items and sheep food. You can buy anything that you need to…read moretend to your garden, including tools, fertilizer (natural only), seeds, clothing, soil, and live plants. The plant selection is wonderful and includes succulents, rose bushes, vegetables, fruit shrubs, and other ornamentals. This is a popular location so parking can be somewhat limited during peak times, like the late afternoon or weekends. Try going in the morning if possible. There is also a tendency to have long lines during peak hours. Notwithstanding these small negatives, the positives outweigh these points: their in-house brand of sheep food is very reasonably priced, the plants available are hardy and long-lasting, and aisles are well-stocked. My two favorite things about the store are the customer rewards program and the bulletin board. Unlike many other rewards programs here, you receive money back on purchases, which is usually in the form of a 7 Euros coupon to be used at a later date. The bulletin board has local events and trades people listings. So helpful!

This is a general outdoor supplies store that has everything you could need: sheds, wheelbarrows,…read morelawn mowers and trimmers, garden supplies, fencing, etc. It is also great for farm animal supplies and I come here for all of my sheep needs, including feed, feeding containers, and fencing supplies. Espace has a large selection at very good prices. There is also a very large parking lot, which is appreciated when bringing a large car or van. My only complaint is that sometimes they are understaffed and there are long lines, particularly on weekends. They also often have issues at the register like an item not being coded or improperly entered, which then requires someone to come and override the transaction (this has happened to me nearly every time I have come in there). The store is otherwise very good.

E. LeClerc is a large chain of grocery stores in France, which also has home goods, appliances,…read moretoys, garden items, etc. It is somewhat like Target in the U.S. This is also the name of the shopping center in Saint-Gaudens/Estancarbon, where there is a large selection of other stores including: LeClerc parapharmacie, LeClerc travel, a separate electronics and book store, clothing stores, hair salons, chocolate shop, two eateries (one causal buffet, the other a sit down restaurant), sneaker shop, barber shop, flower shop, etc. The collection of stores makes shopping very convenient. I do most of my food and other shopping here. I wish that there was a post office at this location as there is in Pau. I also wish that there were better clothes shopping options for women.
