OK I know this is a bit anoraky - bordering on OCD, but I was clearing out from my wallet the receipts collected during a recent trip to France and I thought that rather than just throw them away, it might be helpful to post the costs of some 'typical' items, for people budgetting for a touring in France.
These figures reflect costs in Brittany and are mainly own-brand goods from larger supermarkets. Branded goods would tend to be be more expensive.
Baguette 0.90€
Croissant 0.95€
Coffee 1.10€
Beer (in bar or cafe) 2.20€
Roquefort cheese (200g?) 2.25€
Tomato 0.15€
Saucisson Sec (400g) 4.60€
Soup (500ml carton) 2.02€
Muesli (750g) 2.85€
Can of blanquette de veau (400ml) 2.98€
Moules marinière and chips 9.80€
Jar of rillettes St Jacques 3.50€
4x330ml fruit juices 2.49€
400ml can of pot au feu 3.39€
250ml of clothes washing gel 1.35€
1 litre alcool à bruler 1.45€
Saucisson sec (200g) 2.15€
Demi baguette 0.28€
Ready-made sandwich (jambon fromage) 3€
Campsite prices varied from 5€ to 12.5€ a night with the average probably around 7€ (price based on one person with tent no electricity). The cheapest sites were private sites - as was the most expensive. Municipal sites ranged from 5.70€ to 11 and a bit.
Yes I know, pretty dull, but hopefully useful to someone.
