Those are the larger format stores in France. In the US they are called Fred Meyer, Meijer, etc.

The quality of food (and price) of grocery stores in France make grocery stores in Norway feel like a cruel joke. I visited a carrefour(?) in France and I swear the fruit and vegetables were so fresh they looked like wax stage food... honestly it was a highlight of my trip and selection of cheese made me feel a little unkultured.

this sounds like a "super" walmart or target in the US. everything from garden furniture to broccoli to laptops
