Department stores Brazzaville

A Casino with a well-stocked parking lot where you'll find almost everything you need for everyday European life, including a well-stocked cheese, wine and charcuterie section that could make weanies faint after a long stay in the bush - but at French prices multiplied by at least two. There are also reading and technology departments. The Casino is backed up by a shopping arcade, including several brand-name clothing stores and an FNAC. Credit cards are accepted throughout the store. A warm welcome.

Managed by Indians, this supermarket is barely larger than the casino. Local and imported products are available at affordable prices. Many European brands are represented, and you can find your favorite products here. The supermarket is well stocked and easy to find. Smokers will even find cartons of cigarettes here at unbeatable prices. Security is assured by guards posted at the entrance. Bags must be deposited in lockers before entering the store.
