Even though we've just spent 6 weeks in France we never solved the mystery of the direction signs to supermarkets.
We always do our shopping en route to the next place so don't normally return to the same shop twice - which made our frustration worse...
So you are driving into a town and a big sign appears and says something like
Leclerc tout droit (straight on) 3 mns
So you drive for a few minutes looking wildly around for Leclerc and see nothing.
Next you see a sign that says Leclerc dir xxx 4 mns - or even more frustrating another supermarket altogether.
What the heck do those mns mean? I thought they meant minutes but you'd have to be driving like a formula 1 driver to get to the (often well hidden) supermarket in the time if it does.
Does anyone have the answer?
