Only in accordance with EU SPS regulations, which I have to fully investigate. But my current understanding is no meat or dairy whether raw, processed or cooked in any form or container or products containing those items. Unsure about fresh fruit and veg. |
Correct and even with EU label on it

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

It's worth seeing if the apartment will accept a supermarket delivery for you before you arrive. Either way it's definitely worth making some sort of arrangement to get the basics for the trip from a valley supermarket. If you're not doing that check how far (vertical and horizontal!) the shop is - the first time we self catered we discovered the shop needed to be accessed via a lift (or a very long walk round) which was a bit of a faff.

@penguinhouse6, French supermarkets are really not geared up to deliveries in the same way as we are here, especially in the mountains. Some will deliver, our local Sherpas do, but who is going to accept the delivery before you arrive ? Our manager will be busy with other things on changeover day.
You can do a click and collect at some of them, but last time I tried to register, I could only do so with a French address, even with a French bank card registered to a Uk billing address it wouldn't work.

I've used SuperU to deliver to St Martin de Belleville but I think that was the only (major) supermaket that would go there. Other areas will vary. As I said you'd need to check the appartement are happy to accept it - some obviously won't but others are happy to. I think we had ours arrive the Friday before we got there.

With the dairy/meat restrictions into EU, we'll take some oat or soya milk just in case. Bought Waitrose Oat milk to try and found it to be pretty viscous and thicker than full fat milk and rather sweet. Adding water got it back to being reasonable.

Aldi actileaf is nice and only 75p per carton. The other Aldi one is quite thin and more watery. There are also unsweetened varieties out there - I tried quite a few before I found the one ones I really like. Though as I say I try to make my own when time allows.
