Picture what Best Buy is in the United States and improve it's look by giving it a more modern,…read moresleek decor and a better staff and you can pretty much picture la Fnac. It's part of a nation-wide chain of stores where books, music and electronics are sold. No appliances though, just cameras, computers, printers and various other peripherals.
In the case of this specific location, the space is clean, well maintained and rather popular. It is very well organized and they offer an incredible selection of all things to read, listen to and of computers and televisions. The staff is very knowledge and parking is easy to find on the street or in the giant parking lot under the mall in which this Fnac is a part of.
I've been here on what seems to like a hundred occasions, mostly to buy presents but also to entertain myself and keep up with new releases. I very much like this store and would recommend it to anyone looking for presents or something to read or a CD.
Also present in the store is a photo development service, a ticketing office for concerts and shows and a repair center in case your iPod shit the bed. The only downside to this place is that during busy hours, you might have to wait a while in one of the ten or so checkout lines.
The best part about the Fnac stores is their layout and atmosphere, allowing one to peruse through the various sections, crack a book open, sit on the floor and read some of it, or listen to samples from various artists in another section. It's very casual like that and welcoming and that is something that I love abou tit.
