Where Can You Buy a Second Hand Car in France?

Bonjour,

 

If you're an expat living in France looking for a used car to buy, you do have a few options open to you. Visiting the local dealers for véhicules occasionés might offer up a bit of a choice, and browsing the Top Annonces, Auto Scout, or Le Bon Coin if you're confident in French, but if you prefer to deal with a seller who speaks English, your choice is a bit more limited.

 

You might strike lucky and find there's someone on your local English online forum selling a suitable vehicle, or, if it's feasible, you can always pop back to the UK, bring a car over and go through the whole import / registration rigmarole - although the French authorities seem to be making this more and more difficult.

 

Of course, you could take a look on BritsBazaar.com, where sellers can advertise cars, motorbikes, caravan and trailers for free, with up to ten photos to boot. And, if you can't find what you're looking for, you can always place a free Wanted ad.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shopping from Asda delivered to France

Bonjour Tous,

If you're an ex-pat living in France, there may be times when you just can't find what you're looking for in the local Intermarché.

However much you love things French and have adjusted your diet to embrace the wonderful local produce, occasionally you can be seized with a craving for marmite, or wish you had some thick gravy granules to add to your winter casseroles.

 

Of course, there are some obvious solutions for these hankerings; you make forays back across the channel to stock up with the necessities; you ask visitors to bring supplies if they have room in their luggage; and you can ask for the odd food parcel to be sent over from the UK.

 

But there is another option if you live in Brittany, Normandy, or Pays Loire.

 

You can buy goods from Asda and George and have them delivered to France. Sounds almost too good to be true - you pay the Adsa price, there is no mark up, and you can pay in Euros, or GB£ to save exchange costs; for anyone living on a UK income that will be quite a saving.

 

 

There is a massive range of goods and services available, from groceries to bedding, laptops to car part, all online, and far too many to even begin listing here.

 

 

 

 

 

If you'd like to find out more about filling your online shopping trolley, and having it delivered to France, visit the link below to find out exactly how it works. Even if you're in a region not currently covered, and would be interested in the service, why not let them know because it could be expanded to include you.
