Nearest
supermarkets
There are 3 supermarkets within a sensible driving distance of
the house:
1. “SuperMarché” (was “Inter Marché”
– will change to “Leclerc”) – on the road
to La Tremblade and then to L’Eguille
2. Leader Price – near the centre of Saujon
3. Super “U” – on the road to Saintes –
the best of the bunch in our opinion
Main
shopping street
If you prefer traditional shopping in the high street go to Rue
Carnot – within 10 minutes walking distance of the house.

miss Saturday market there!
