 Behind the scenes in the French supermarkets (and the hypers) skullduggery, exploitation, and  illegal practises are common . They are very far from being the  fabulous cleaner than clean 'temples de la consommation' that they pass themselves off as,
  Christian Jacquiau  is on a permanent lecture tour of France to expose the hidden face of the supermarket chains.
He has published a book 'Les coulisses de la grande distribution' that is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand how, in the space of fifty years, for example, E Leclerc has gone from a 50²m shop in Bretagne to a multi billion empire and how the farmers, the small shopkeepers and the customer have been hoodwinked, ruined and exploited along the way.

Hey that sounds like great stuff. I'll try to get the book. I have most definitely noticed that   ' Free  '  Markets are non-existant in France and that the consumer, out in the sticks anyway, gets what they're given rather than what they want !
