You can find where stores are, view the (not so) latest "arrivages" and telecharge a catalogue should someone else being paying for the ink cartridges but not much else. I just hope that they build on it and actually put some items, prices etc in all the various empty categories, however I suspect that I  will be getting my telegram from Camilla before that, this is France, an internet free zone after all   Editted: I much prefer the catologues anyway, they have been my bible since arriving here, I recently also found the Leroy Merlin "Construire et renover" big free book, highly recommended for the early years in this different building environment;    Report

Can some kind soul help me out please?  I need to get some of those concrete 'rings' often used for large drains or, as in my case, place them vertically for access to the cap of a fosse nearly 2 metres below ground. I have no idea what they are called in English let alone French.  They need to be 80 cm in diameter but I could adapt a little I think, anybody know what I should ask or search for on the BricoDespot site? When I get a mo' I'll post my experiances last weekend of a 'Full Fosse' Still, it has a happy ending Fool me once, shame on you Fool me twice, shame on me Fool me 3 times and you can see a statistical tendency    Report

It may be that i had to choose my store at the first stage and Arras has not entered their prices yet. Can you actually search for things like 800mm manhole rings? If so then I must have been looking at a different site. Perhaps again being thick I cant see the reference to the electric thread but work beckons.    Report
