# Carrefour Location Near Radisson Hotel? Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Tahiti & French Polynesia
beachdreamer 09:36 UTC 30 Aug 2007 | I know that there is a Carrefour store near the Intercontinental Hotel but I think there is one near the Radisson Hotel which is located in the complete opposite direction. Can someone confirm this location and its proximate distance from the Radisson. Thanks. |

nukuhiva2 03:53 UTC 31 Aug 2007 | Wow, silvanocat, you knew that the OP was talking about Tahiti! I read all the islands and never know which one is meant when the name is missing. | 2
silvanocat 04:04 UTC 31 Aug 2007 | When you are looking at the thread overview page, on the side below the username of the poster (or last poster) you will see: Category: Tahiti & French Polynesia That's how I knew. | 3
raro 07:48 UTC 31 Aug 2007 | The original Carrefour, which I assume is still there, is a few miles west of town, a mile or two west of the airport, I think. When it first opened many years ago, it was like an oasis for tourists like me who wanted a good deli! Oh, we could also buy a new lawnmower if we wanted! All my local friends were amazed at the variety in the food supermarket. Now there are a lot more choices in Papeete, and even more budget food places, so the need for a good deli is not so great anymore! | 4

raro 16:31 UTC 22 Sep 2007 | Beachcomber---Not really sure, it's been a while since I've been in that area. There are pretty good maps one can find on the internet, you'll have to zero in on the exact locations and distances. But if the Carrefour has a large market, there would probably be a deli dept. But if you head into downtown PPT, you can find lots of shops that sell bread, cheese, and so on. I'm not sure how long you'll be on the island, but you will rpobably want to go to downtown at some point, I'd do it early in the trip. You can also e-mail the hotel and ask what is within walking distance. | 6
