There are lots of hypermarkets just like in France, stocked with excellent cheese counters and massive wine departments (both French only of course). They also sell chemist sundries, toys, electrical equipment, film, cameras etc. Most have film processing facilities where prints will be ready in 24 hours or less. Generally open Monday to Saturday 0800-2030. Expensive, everything imported from France. In Gosier there is a supermarket on the road to Plage de l’Anse Canot, open on Sunday, otherwise hypermarkets are better value and cleaner.
