    Hi, i'm looking to do some much needed upgrades on my bathroom. Does anyone have any stores that they prefer to use out here? I'm more than happy to buy online but i want to do it on a site that i can trust!

    Mecri :D

    A few names that come to mind: Castorama (you have many stores inside Paris, easily accessible such as the one on Place de Clichy). You can also look at BHV (more expensive but good choice).
    And of course all the other small independent shops: check in Les Pages Jaunes

    On other discussion I found online links, such as:

    http://www.nice-vie.com/meuble-salle-de ... fr,3,1.cfm
    http://www.vente-unique.com/c/meuble-de-salle-de-bain

    Thanks! These are all great. I've had a suggestion from my dad to use a British company called screwfix as they deliver abroad. He trusts them but I am sceptical about doing this. I have found a small amount online about the subject of UK companys delivering abroad but if you had any more links that would be ideal.

    Thanks

    I used Screwfix for buying stuff in the past. Good, but I am in England :mrgreen: ,
    I doubt that they will deliver for free outside Britain. As I said, you will find Castorama shops in Paris, you can always have a look. You have also http://www.conforama.fr/

    They do deliver for free but only on orders over £100 and my order is short of that figure :( I managed to go to Castorama over the weekend and i'm sure I'll be able to find something in there though.

    I just have to decide now.

    Thank you again, you've been a great help

    No problem, best of luck. Which Casto did you go to (I only know the one in Place de Clichy)?
