FR: Auchan Hypermarket in Val D’europe

When in Paris, I went shopping at Val d’Europe (lit. Valley of Europe), which is a part of the new town known as Marne la Vallée. It is located around 35 km to the east of Paris, near Parc Disneyland.

There is a large Auchan hypermarket inside the commercial center. Auchan SA is an international retail group and multinational corporation headquartered in Lille, France.

Auchan has branches in France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Luxembourg, Poland, Hungary, Russia, Morocco, China and Taiwan. It also entered the Romanian market in 2006, with the first hypermarket in Bucharest set to open soon.
