Hi there,
I'm new to this site and moving to France, Nièvre hopefully soon.
I was wondering if there are recommended trading/sellers sites like Gumtree and Marktplaats?
Many thanks,
Barry

Hi Barry,

The most well-known equivalent of Gumtree is Le Bon Coin (https://www.leboncoin.fr).

Have a great day,
Clara

Hi, the products are not necessarely more expensive out here. It is more a matter of finding the right places. Also, don't forget that French people prefer that you use/buy French stuff or at least in French shops (logic)

There's two ways of buying your things here, especially in la Nièvre where you need to drive an end to reach shops. 1. the right shop : good examples : Brico Dépot and 2. online shopping (which is done mostly) Good online portals ( Manomano and Amazon)

Good luck
