Superette Beaumarchais

Among the superettes along Boulevard de Beaumarchais, this was our chosen one (and conveniently closest to our hotel). This superette has the most attractive arrangement of produce just under the awning. Not only was it nicely arranged, but it also always looked super fresh and ready to eat. Inside is super tiny (about four aisles), but you will find everything from beverages (juice, water, soda) to sandwiches to cookies to carrefour suchard candy (oui oui). Prices are reasonable, and there’s a good selection of pantry, produce, and other miscellaneous items that you’d find at a regular market and convenience store.
I believe a father/​son own this superette, as we saw the son every night (of our 6 nights in Paris), and his father on one of the nights. You can tell they take great pride in their superette. We would always see the son rearranging the produce or organizing the beverages. Every night, we would stop in so Mom could buy her one produce item-​banana (for the next morning). He always greeted us very warmly, and with that smile of recognition (like he’d say to himself, «Hey, it’s these ladies again. Nice to see them again type of thing»). He’d ring us up very happily, and say something to us in French (which I believe was complimentary as he was smiling at us and laughing with us). One night, we even surprised him and bought more than just the produce, but water, suchard candy, and gum. Even though he spoke little English, we knew he was appreciative and happy to see us. It’s like coming home every time we walked into Superette Beaumarchais.
Will miss seeing our friend and daily visits at Superette Beaumarchais. Until next time, Au revoir…
