There is a very well stocked local grocery shop, with adjoining tobacconists and newsagents (selling UK papers), a boulangerie and chemist, with other needs supplied by a weekly mini-market on Wednesday where you will find a greengrocer and fishmonger. The supermarkets of Pezenas are only 5 minutes away by car.
