That might just depend where you live. We live in a tourist area but definitely no sign of them at all; perhaps that is because at least 85% of the tourists are French.    valB wrote: The French were buying them, check out the advert on UTube it is hilarious. Love the advert; would just love to get hold of some McVities, with, or even without, chocolate, but nothing available as yet. Sue Computing - it's another world    Report

They are still selling the english version on the "Anglais" shelf for about three times the price. Only complaint is that the chocolate seems different,perhaps what were used to can't be classed as chocolate in France?    Report

There are other things I might miss but, with the exception of decent tea, supermarket food is not one of them. Perhaps other regions of France are different.
