 Poster: A snowHead
|
Title says it all really - We're driving from Geneva to La Tania tomorrow and I've just had an awful thought that the supermarkets might not be open for us to load up the car with food and drink for the week - really want to do this before getting up the mountain and paying the premiums charged there.
So people, please shout out if you're aware of any large supermarkets on my route which are open on Sundays??
Thanks in advance!

@chopkins13,
Super U just outside Moutier opens 08.30 -12.30 on a Sunday
Super U just outside Albertville, which might be easier, opens 08.30 -11.30

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Arghhhhh! Disaster!! My flight lands at 10:10am into Geneva, then need to pick up hire car so with best will in the world we're not going to be away from the airport much before 11am - even with some rather speedy driving I'm not going to make it that far before the shops close. Even Chambery is massively pushing it.
Anyone know of the closest french supermarket to GVA which will be open on Sunday?
Also, I've just been googling and am picking up mixed messages about the sale of alcohol on sundays in french supermarkets?
I'm supposed to be picking up a weeks shopping for 8 adults so this could be a right royal cock-up!

@rjs = great suggestion, I see they are opening especially tomorrow all day (normally closed on sundays), and right next to the airport so very handy for us, brilliant!
Any ideas whether alcohol will be on sale or not?

@stewart woodward, Looks like a wise move. Looks very windy "up top" on the webcams. Near white-out at the top of Toviere

@chopkins13, if the fernery voltage shop is closed, which might be the case on Sunday the supermarket in the airport is very well stocked though not cheap. Through to the station and right down the bottom of the shopping parade.

@chopkins13, did you manage to stock up for your trip? We too have the same problem; Sunday 24th jan arrival in geneva travelling to les Menuires we don't land until 3.00pm.

You know it makes sense.

@pembsflyer, yes we used the Fernery-Volataire Carrefour last year with success on a Sunday. However I fear this may have been a special opening for New Years Eve only and a normal Sunday they may be closed. Their website will inform.
