Thank you for taking the time and trouble to travel to Costco for us, as you say, so we dont have to!!! Ignore the negative reviews. It's clear that you're learning, and I'm sure each and every future video will be better and better. Courage, mon ami!!! Salutations de Dublin, Irlande, là où Costco n'existe pas. 😊😊

Please slow the camera swing when scanning through the aisles. Your content would be more enjoyable without getting dizzy.

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll try to improve that on the next one

I am an American who lives near Stuttgart Germany and last April (2023), I decided to rent a car so that I could make the 5.5hour one-way drive to the exact same Costco you went to in Pontault-Coumbalt. I really liked the experience, but I had to polish up my French in order to order "Poulet avec Frites" at the food counter. I ended up spending €700 worth of stuff that I hauled back to Germany. I plan another visit this April. While there, I also visited a Chinese restaurant called "Let Petite Bao" in the 2nd Arrondissement of Paris where they serve up Xiao Long Bao with sliced truffles. I also visited Monnaie de Paris on the south bank of the Seine, but dropped way more Euros there than at Costco. :-D

Can you tell me if they have the big bottles of Franks Red Hot or Tabasco sauce? I live in Karlsruhe and tend to drive to London in order to go to Costco, however i think next time it will be Paris as its a "shorter" journey...

@MrDennis170 I don't recall if the Paris one had the large bottles, but I have been to the Costco near Heathrow Airport before. Also, I know that Edeka sometimes has Franks Red Hots and Tabasco in the normal sized bottles.

VERY INTERESTING ESPECIALLY WHEN I SAW THE BOXED DUNKIN DONUTS

I’m pleasantly surprised that Costco is in France 😮

I know, right! I didn’t think the French would allow such a huge American superstore like Costco…but you learn something new everyday! 😅

Great reality on the ground video, but slowing down the camera on the price tags let viewers see without the blur for future videos.Truth be told superstores or in French hypermarches have been around since the 1970's pre dating Walmart's & Costco's supercenters in the U.S. & Canada. Though French regulations do not allow hypermarches like Costco in large cities because prices are much lower than retail stores in the cities so driving an hour or more is required.

that's the reason it was so far from Paris? unbelievable

I enjoyed this video very much. Thanks.

Prices seem mostly comparable to US. The muffins are a bargain at 9 euro for a dozen. I think it’s $12 at my Costco. Sure beats Paneras $4+ each!

Fascinating, thanks for your efforts. Here in Australia the chickens are US$4.53 including tax.

Great video, thank you .

Very cool video! As a Costco fan and lover of France this was a treat!

🧐 I was expecting a more fun video. Agree with the others, it was too shaky. You past everything too fast and did Not show-explain the items, looking for what is different there and to compare specific item that you find on both countries on price; in general compare how expensive is the life there and their different food. Yes, you're newbie that's why I took the time to give you a feedback with a good intention; hope it helps you on your new channel, good luck!! 🇫🇷👍🏼

I wanted to know if they had Hawaian rolls in the French Costco? If yes, I'm signing up!

What day of the week did you go to store? It doesn't look busy at all like the United states. The busiest Costco that I was at was the one in honolulu,hi (look like black Friday xmas season, people were on top of each other)

It’s pretty far not too many people know about it I think. Costco in the US are in the middle of the towns usually

Hello ...I enjoyed your video. Let us know if there are conditon for entrance in the store ,I heard that u can't use a eu visa card..etc please let us know

Location of the two Costco around Paris might come from market studies and local population. Suburbs up North are more poor with migrants and more insecurity. For Paris, they could have one more on the West side, like Maison Laffite. And one in the Cote d’Azur would be nice too. Aix en Provence maybe.

♥️♥️♥️

4:52 creepily similar down to that light up table for the Intel Evo laptops. If you didn't say this was France I'd have no idea aside from everything being in French and Euros.

The American Fanta also has food colouring that is not permitted in Europe

Can someone tell me if they have Franks red hot or Tabasco in Paris Costco? Also what are the prices like? In the Uk i ended up paying 4,79 GBP per bottle of Tabasco... Would appriciate if someone can get back to me

@@Marcel_Audubon thanks, just that I will probably never get a French bakery croissant in the us, so ya know.

Cheetos are different because they don’t allow the crap in the food in Europe. All the stuff that should be banned in the US.

The prices seem much higher in France on many items but it includes the tax, so after America charges the tax on each item that may make the American Costco more expensive 😢

chicken bake its the same size in us , in florida , no fries

you're cousin is charming I don't think I would ever buy Dunkin' in a box at some place other than Dunkin' - guessing there's a freshness issue It looked basically the same, although perhaps a little smaller - prices a mix of some higher, some lower, but probably a wash Have never waited in a line like that at Costco US - didn't see any self checkout lines, maybe that contributes? Not offering a free refill à l’américaine is one thing ... but enlisting a machine to cut you off mid pour seems a bit rude!! haha! same strip search on the way out ... they really think their customer base are a bunch of shoplifters, don''t they?

Lol how come most foreigners living in France keep raving about bout Costco (in their mother tongues) but not Intermarché, Carrefour, Auchan, some French department stores, you name it? 😮😮😮

Je suis tout à fait d'accord. Les super et hypermarchés français sont vâchement superieurs à Costco.

The Fanta is so much better in Europe, I hate the one here.

Tax isn't listed seperately because no one wants to be reminded of how much tax they're paying.

Goods tax is 20%!!!??? That's horrible. 😢😢😢

I am approaching the 15 minute mark in the video and am sad we couldn't see the food court. I was wondering if the items offered were different. Edit: Ahh, you had it at the end.

Just gotta get over that 15 minute mark 😉

The food is better priced in the markets with better quality

The pizza is sad,😢super thick soggy pizza crust, chicken bake is slimy and bland; gross. They always squeeze the buns when wrapping the hotdogs and their mustard doesn’t pair well with hotdogs. The people who work at the food court are pretty nice but the system is efficient, hence chaotic. My least favorites are the cashiers who are often rude and always talk to each other instead of providing friendly customer service. that’s France 🇫🇷🤣get used to it or get out . C’est la vie!😂 FYI: Brooklyn NY Costco has the best pizza. Costco in Asia has delicious bulbogi bake and pretty much everything is great 👍

Eggs not refrigerated? Is this like Europe's shelf-stable milk?

@amuni.travel

4 ай бұрын

Eggs are naturally shelf-stable. To clean eggs, in the US and Canada, they spray them with a jet of water that removes a natural protective outer coating, making them more susceptible to warm temperatures. In Europe (and most of the world) they don’t use this method, allowing you to keep eggs fresh at room temp

Typical American. Only Dunkin Donuts from Costco France!!! France!

You’re going so fast, can’t hardly see the products and definitely not the prices

I like American Fanta better - it's not trying to be anything it's not: a copy of Orange Nehi French Fanta seems like low rent orange juice. Give me either real orange juice, or real pop, nothing in the middle!

was interested but can't watch, your filming was just awful.

Would really appreciate if you can have a consistent delivery of your voice volume. It is utterly irritating your voice over is not consistent with the volume And your footage volume is extremely loud and your voice is constantly barrier underneath the environnoise. I have to give up watching your video because everyone is annoyed as heck but your low volume voice. Your first two words sounded super loud than the rest of the words are terrible low. No one can understand what you are saying. Super annoying.
