Monoprix

Très beau magasin. Beaucoup de choix. Plusieurs petits stands sympas pour être servis et acheter les quantités désirées. L'étage est également très bien agencé. Cependant, j'ai été choquée au stand boulangerie au rez-de-chaussée de voir la serveuse en fin de journée attraper des croissants et les jeter à la poubelle (peut être le surplus de la journée), il en restait beaucoup. Il est dommage en 2021 de jeter de la nourriture plutôt que donner à une association.

Oh dear lord. Is this what all supermarkets are like in France? Surely not. This place is awesome! So much cheese. So. Much. Cheese.
You can get all your regular grocery shopping done here, but it’s also a great spot to buy food for a picnic.
Be aware:
You have to weigh your fruit and veg before you get to the checkout. You also have to pay for your baked goods seperately. Very confusing and hugely unproductive, but that’s how it’s done.

My favorite grocery store in Nice. You can shop for milk, jeans, and wonderful beauty products all under one roof.

This is one of the French supermarket that has been around forever and where you find a lot of things.
Surprisingly this store has tons of organic products (bio).
You can find amazing breads, fruits and veggies that are locally grown and of great taste.
But you will also find the low quality products as it is after all a supermarket.

These French groceries stories were everything in Southern France, you can get a lot of your goodies here! =) It’s either this or Casino

Very cool concept where you can grocery shop and shop for clothing upstairs. We needed a few basic necessities such as hair conditioner, razors, and a few other thing’s. I enjoyed how open the store is. They have produce, deli, wine selection, meats, beauty products, you name it. The store looks old but it is clean and well organized.
Keep in mind they do NOT have bag’s, so bring your own. Strange concept for us Americans. My husband was walking around admiring all the cheese so he decided to take a picture of the cheese display. Oh gee some guy came out screaming at him. Really, what is the big ass deal. It’s cheese! Anyhow hubby was not embarrassed it seemed to happen to him quite often while in Europe, LOL
I found the prices to be fairly good especially on the wine. I found some great bottles of Bordeaux which were very reasonable. The selection of wines was impressive. Nevertheless, it was a store that was convenient for us to find what we needed.
You have been warned do not take any pics.

There are many reasons to envy the Cote D’Azur and Nice in particular: 300 days of sunshine, a comfortable climate, free museums and the Promenade Anglais come to mind.
Enter another major reason: Monoprix!
Imagine all the fine European imported foodstuffs you covet all under one roof and include items you’ve never seen before like cassoulet in a can. (Yes, I bought it!)
I came here nearly every day during my time in Nice, once for breakfast, another time for souvenir purchasing and the other to simply take it all in, like students on a field trip to the Museum of Natural History in NYC.
There’s a bakery section, of course, where one can purchase pain au chocolat, baguettes and other grainy staples. Pre-​made sandwiches are abundant as is the prepared food section: think beef bourguignon to go. I spotted a microwaveable tapas kit of skewered chicken, an abundance of charcuterie and plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.
You could also come here to shop for clothes on the second floor but if that’s combined with food shopping, you may want to add an extra size to the ol’ waistline. Health and beauty products round up the first floor. Note that you won’t find any over the counter medicines here, that is strictly the purpose of the local pharmacie. (The closest is in the Nice Etoile shopping mall).
Lines can be long but they moved fairly quickly. The non-​French fluent can simply look at the cash register display to realize how much is owed after buying an arsenal of gourmet goods. Also note that plastic bags are not supplied by default so you may want to bring a bag of your own for the check-​out.
The only question left after the various Monoprix expeditions is simply: Do they deliver to NYC?

It’s a grocery store so it is pretty much what you would expect. A tip if you’ve never grocery shopped at a Monoprix before (I’m not sure if this is specific to this chIn or France in general)…get your produce weighed and priced at the produce department before you proceed to the checkout. They do not have a scale at the checkout.

Magasin de proximité un peu cher, mais qui propose sous sa marque de distributeur des produits de bonne qualité.
Service correct.

Im Erdgeschoss ein besser sortierter Stadtsupermarkt und Drogerieartikel, oben Mode und Dekoration, Küchenbedarf etc. An sich ein netter und moderner Laden.
Großer Haken: Man sollte den Kassierern seine volle Aufmerksamkeit schenken, da einige sonst auch mal gern Artikel doppelt scannen (bei mir selbst und beim Kunden vor mir beobachtet; das Ganze scheint also nicht unbedingt zufällig zu geschehen). Habe mein Geld zwar an der Information ohne Probleme wiederbekommen eine Frechheit ist es trotzdem, sodass ich dem Laden nur 2 Sterne gebe, auch wenn er an sich mehr verdient hätte.

Mais où Monoprix recrute ses caissières ???
Heureusement l’été est là et les renforts étudiants arrivés.
Pour ma part, quand je suis aimable et souriant avec ces dames j’aimerais qu’il en soit de même en retour.
Incroyable de n’avoir ni un bonjour ni un merci, ni même un regard et de les entendre critiquer leur employeur sans aucune retenue… la salle de pause serait sans doute l’endroit plus propice pour cela, nan ?
Et malheur à vous si vous leur faites remarquer leur peu d’amabilité !!
