You could ask the transfer coach to stop while you do a bit of shopping, the 1996 Mercury is very good

Tesco (other supermarkets are available) currys you will def have microwave and pre cooked Tilda rice

Dont forget flying into Geneva Duty free ish

Careful baldie - this is clearly advertising!

Should have read .....

"Whisky ... just take whisky (other alcoholic beverages are available)"

Hope Adders doesn't get cross with you :mrgreen:

We do Self catering every year. We do the following:-

- bacon, like you say cant live without the stuff!!
- Tea bags, French tea is cr*p (no offence, but it is!)
- Quick mixes for casserole/chilli etc. But we eat in every night as I enjoy cooking :D

We then stop at a carrefour or the like on the way to get other essentials - beer, gin, wine, milk, meat etc. It is SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than in resort :thumbup:

This year for 4 we spend €170 in Carrefour in Moutiers for 4 peeps for a week :)

Agreed, but I was advocating buying it here (as in France) he'll know by then if he hs an oven.

Great idea if you're driving.
