From the website for expats in the Dordogne, French Entree, news about a shop that could be straight from the high street 'back home' :
Having travelled and shipped goods to destinations throughout the world when running his logistics and shipping business in the UK, it seemed a natural choice for Geoff Butterworth to call his new enterprise here in France ‘Le Petit Monde’. What a small and accessible place the world now is and what a wonderful selection of international foods and products it offers.In June, Geoff working in conjunction with his wife Jo, opened the doors of their new shop. Situated in the north of the Dordogne and on the edge of the Charente border they are located between the picturesque villages of Champagne et Fontaine. Equidistant between Angouleme and Perigueux, ‘Le Petit Monde’ makes an interesting stop off.
Le Petit Monde offers a little world of decorative house and garden gifts, greetings cards and international foods, including many of our English favourites. Amongst our food range we will be stocking several food brands including Heinz baked beans, Sarson’s malt vinegar, Bisto gravy granules, complemented by mature cheddar, stilton, back bacon and pork scratchings! ‘Our aim is to sell all the good old British favourites alongside other international and regional specialities’ says Geoff.
Their home and garden range includes a selection of quality enamel garden seating, kitchenware and accessories, lanterns for the garden, and a good selection of tasteful reasonably priced cards.Geoff & Jo moved to France permanently at the beginning of the year after finding their new home here last summer. Too active and too young to retire from enterprise, they both soon realised there were many items that they had previously spent their careers transporting which would be welcome here.
Le Petit Monde is open Monday to Friday 9am – 5pm and Saturday mornings 10am to 1pm. Geoff and Jo look forward to you popping in for a complimentary cup of coffee whilst you browse their shop.
