| Can you even get your VAT back in France? I have looked a few times into this, but the stores all have very high thresholds for tax back, not worthwhile for the bits of shopping I do in France. I just go for their cheap wine and more interesting selection... | |

Yeah, you can get your VAT back, but you're right about the shops not printing the forms up for you unless you spend quite a bit. So much that it only makes sense for a couple or a family to do the VAT thing.
I agree with you. I'll often pick up a couple bottles of wine. And the selection is pretty cool. I like the low-fat Brie and Bleu cheeses. They also have these big containers of really nice dried herbs.
The grape juice at Geant is good and cheap though. Way cheaper than here in CH. But you're only allowed to bring 3 litres per person across the border.
