late-night food shopping?

adam · Post by **adam** » Fri Jan 30, 2004 12:39 pm

Hello - have just been told about your website and will be studying it carefully before we visit at the end of February - it looks full of info - well done everybody.
We are visiting at the end of February, but will not be arriving in the area until mid/late evening and hope the flight isn't late.
Will there be any food shops open late, or is there a petrol station with shop nearby to purchase those essential things?
Perhaps this info is on the site? If not, might it be an idea to add such details?
Many thanks
Adam

We were in CVO in September last year and also arrived late at night. Our transfer driver took us to the petrol station on the way in (I think it was open 24hrs) , and we got the essential beers etc! It was enough to see us through to the next day.

I think Intermarche is still open til 9 at night (1pm Sundays) at the moment.

Where are you staying? Could you ask the management to leave a welcome pack for you?

Hi Adam,

I was going to comment along the same lines as kteee, you need to check out whether your accommodation provides a welcome pack, depending where you are staying this may well be free and include the basics, like tea, coffee, milk, sugar, bread, butter and a bottle of wine (well I think the last one is a basic!!). Some accommodations who do not provide welcome packs will do so for an additional charge if you ask.

Plus there are obviously the other suggestions that have been posted so far.

Many thanks for your replies to my enquiry about late-night food shopping - much appreciated.
We'll look out for the blonde female at the airport with our welcome pack!!
Regards
Adam
