Hardware and drugstores Provence

Maison Empereur is the oldest hardware store in France (opened in 1827!). In this Ali Baba's cave, you can really find everything! From kitchen accessories, cutlery and drugstore to gardening accessories, not to mention objects from yesteryear to be rediscovered. A must-see institution in Marseille! Newlyweds can open their wedding list there. A quick tour of the website also gives you an idea of the products available. But, as Petit Futé believes, nothing beats a little visit to the boutique!

Created in 1947, rue Granet, in the historic centre of Aix-en-Provence, the Quincaillerie Aixoise moved to the Aix-les-Milles business park in 1980. Since then, this dynamic brand has given birth to four other stores in the South-East. The Quincaillerie Aixoise has 9,000 m² of self-service sales space and nearly 28,000 items in the fields of plumbing, tools, electricity and paint, as well as building hardware, heating, smoke control and locksmithing, not forgetting an impressive drugstore section.

A veritable Ali Baba's cave on the Canebière, Y-store is a well-known address for anyone looking for just about anything! A comprehensive drugstore offering home decoration, DIY, bathroom and kitchen equipment, small electrical appliances, hardware and even food on clearance. It's a one-stop shop, and few can fail to find what they're looking for. The welcome isn't always smiling, but rather rushed. And yet, it's a smart address at low prices (although it's always a good idea to compare elsewhere, especially for small household appliances). Open 7 days a week, it's ideal for emergency repairs or last-minute purchases. In summer, beach business.

Since 1959, this company has been supplying the people of Aix-en-Provence with pans and knives. Only beautiful material! The owner and his sons continue the adventure by proposing multiple articles, cast iron or copper saucepans, knives "which cut", string to make all, products of maintenance for the pieces of furniture, drugstore, curtain rods, locks, fittings and other objects of brass and wrought iron manufactured in a craft way. But also garbage cans, shopping carts... Jura brand coffee machines and... a knife sharpening service.

A return to the values of yesteryear with this little new drugstore in the town center, which advocates ecology and sustainability with hygiene products, household products (also in bulk) and utensils for the kitchen, bathroom and table. From pretty brooms to wicker mats for your carpets, from tea towels to shopping nets, from vegetable brushes to potato masher, from pumice stones to shoe polish kits, the range is wide and varied, with one common thread: products made in France, the credo of Marine, the pretty druggist.
