Carrefour S.A. is a French multinational retailer headquartered in Greater Paris. It is one of the largest hypermarket chains in the world, with 1,452 hypermarkets at the end of 2011, the fourth largest retail group in the world in terms of revenue (after Wal-Mart, Tesco and Costco), and the third in profit, after Wal-Mart and Tesco. Carrefour operates mainly in Europe, Argentina, Bahrain, Brazil, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Lebanon, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, but also has shops in North Africa and other parts of Asia. Carrefour means "crossroads" and "public square" in French. It hasn't made its way to the States yet.
It had been a long time that I hadn't been to Carrefour, and as it was so cold outside, it was the ideal place to walk around and take some pictures.
The hypermarket was full of people doing their last Easter shopping
The garden section was empty, nobody needed barbecues or garden furniture yet
But the flowers had a big success
As usual there were only men in the multimedia section, women belong to washing machines and dishwashers.
A little bit of the new collection
Something for the beauty too
and of course a jewelry is not missing
In the food section I discovered a variety of seafood and fish
a big choice of cheese mostly from Belgium, France and Italy
The same for sausages and ham
There was even a Sushi stand
a huge selection of bread
Easter cakes
and eggs for children. Only two were left
The wine came from all countries and you had a big choice. In Belgium people mostly drink a glass of wine (or more) with lunch and supper.
After having seen enough, I returned home.
