Where do French people get their house numbers from?

[SwedishEdith]

The lovely blue and white enamel ones? I can see some companies make them if I google but, surely, French people just buy them from a hardware store if they want them. I've looked in a M. Bricolage before I couldn't see any. Does anyone know?

[ScreamingValenta]

I don't know where French people get them from but there are always tons of them on eBay if you have time to search for the right numbers.

[SwedishEdith]

Yes, can see lots on Ebay so may resort to that. Am in France atm so was hoping to just pick one up here.

[ScreamingValenta]

Are there any locals around where you are staying who you could ask?

[MrsGolightly]

Generally local Vide Grenier or brocantes.

[SwedishEdith]

Hmm, mostly Dutch and Belgians but good idea re asking. There's a vide grenier tomorrow so will keep my eyes peeled. Just assumed their diy sheds wold sell them.

[Frenchmom]

French hardware stores like Bricorama and Castorama should sell them.

[SwedishEdith]

Thanks Frenchmom. Hopefully, I'll see a big one before we leave to check again.

[Versaillaise]

I'm pretty sure that I've seen them in Truffaut. It's a garden centre

[Squiff70]

You could try Maisons du Monde or Castorama. Good luck!

[SwedishEdith]

Ah, more suggestions! Thank you.

Quand vous achetez votre enseigne, on parle français dans le magasin.

[SwedishEdith]

Bien sur.

[PalindromicUser]

You can often get them in supermarket key cutting concessions.

[Glittertwins]

I've seen them in the larger supermarkets

I got some years ago in Pezenas which is a popular medieval tourist town in South of France. It was a ceramics shop, not put them up yet though, not until the DIY mountain is complete!
