We had a burger at McDo's on the way back from the Airport at la rochelle on the first July and the cost  hadnt changed . Yesterday the 2nd  July had Moules at our local Moulerie still no change to price .  Today 3rd we were having a Kir Cassis at our local Hyper U after the busy lunch time  ( well I was anyway ) and staff were rushing round changing prices and putting up big promotional notices - prices seem to have dropped by about a euro- well done Super U  ( not on my Kir though- shame )    Report

A saving of approx 11.8% (or a bit less as wine is included in the fixed price) will not sway us one way or the other. Our favourite place at Quatre Routes du Lot charges modestly anyway. His price in 2003 was €10 + €1 for coffee, then €11 inc. coffee and earlier this year was €12 and for this you can have Soup, entree,plat du jour,large cheese board, dessert,coffee and as much red wine as you wish though it is Hobson's Choice except on days when the star turn is tripe or tete de veau. For us the prices in UK or for that matter the rest of France outside our little patch don't matter, we don't live there. John      Report

It had reduced its price of one dish of turbot from 47 euros to 42 euros and St Pierre from 38euros to 33 euros!    Report
