There's a shop called Action, on the block next to the SuperU in Montmorillon, where you can pick up some bits and bobs for your house. I just got some planters, for the garden, which were 7.95 euros each, which weren't a bad buy tbh.
They sell everything from ornaments, garden stuff, stationary, decorative items etc, to paint, household bits and bobs and crisps and choccie. Basically it's a bit like Home Bargains in the UK.
We always end up visiting Mr Bricolage in Montmorillon for some kind of tool, or plumbing bits, which inevitably we've left at home in England. I know we get ripped off there, and we'd get things cheaper in B&Q, but needs must sometimes.
I've bought stainer for the front door from Leclerc, which wasn't expensive and did the job. Sometimes it's best to price things up in the supermarkets and compare the prices to the DIY places. Try and bring paint over from the UK if you can. It's so much cheaper over here and not as drippy.
We've brought all white goods over, but our son bought his washing machine and cooker for his house from Leclerc. More expensive, but perfectly fine.
I'm not sure if someone had written this on here before, or whether I read it on Facebook, but I saw that you can order from Screwfix in France and have stuff delivered within 3 days, if you order over 74 euros I think. Worth checking that one out.
Also, if you're maybe over for a few weeks, people have said on here that they order from Amazon France and have stuff delivered, maybe within a few days. Good luck
