On y va au supermarché!

Today was our last full day in Amiens, tomorrow morning we will take the train to Lyon. We partly spent our last day in this beautiful city by doing some sightseeing and relaxing in the park, and partly by doing serious research. We went to three different supermarkets: the Hyper Marché, the Carrefour and a small shop that only sold organic products. Nobody spoke English in this shop, so we weren’t able to interview anyone or ask any questions about their fruit and vegetables.

The Hyper Marché sold some organic fruit and vegetables, they even had organic bananas from the region (who knew bananas could grow in the north of France?), but we didn’t see the name Nature&More anywhere. A woman with her son of about 1 year old was doing some shopping there, and we asked her if she thought it was important to eat organic food. She thought it was completely normal to only eat organic food, and she added that it was healthier for her son.

In the Carrefour we found pears with the Nature&More logo on it. We happily jumped around the store as soon as we discovered this, which caused us to get some weird looks from the people around us. We asked a guy who was about 20 years old if he would be interested in knowing where his fruit and vegetables came from, but he looked at us as if he was surprised that pears aren’t made in a factory in China.

Our host, Audry, on the other hand, was very enthusiastic as soon as she heard about Nature&More. She told us that eating organic and vegetarian food in France is very hard, and that having a brand like Nature&More would help her a lot by eating healthy. So there’s enough room for improvement here!
