Washing machines in French supermarket car parks (1 Viewer)

[shawn&emma]

Starting to run out of clean clothes and know that in France some of the supermarkets have machines in their car parks. Think it's called revolution 24/24 but can't find any links/information online. Wanted to find a map or something with them on so we can plan a Sunday afternoon wash whilst their car parks are empty.
Anyone found anything like this please, maybe @yodeli knows something

Thanks

Shawn

If there is a map it would be great, but failing one have a look at the larger Intermarché as we've found a few of those have washing machines outside.

Noticed yesterday that the intermarche at Couhe of the N10 just below Pointiers has them on the carpark looked like two large washing machines and a dryer.

Have seen them in the foyers of many sm's but never on the car park!

 

[gus-lopez]

Just googled it, there is a surrey based firm called Photo-Me(who also do photo booths!) doing them in france. Didn't see any other details. Sleuths can follow up?

Larger Intermarche, Leclerc and Super u have them. We use them regularly and find them very good mostly. They are usually cheaper than campsite machines and a lot larger too. Works a treat for us as I do the shopping while Mrs does the washing. Some of these will take a bank card but they are mostly coin operated. I have often asked at the supermarket customer service desk for change and they are quite happy to provide it even though the machines re not theirs.

Yes SuperU in our next door town of Lubersac have them. I seem to think SuperU were one of the first supermarket chains to do them. Most of them allow overnight parking so you can use them and shop with them.

Varies from area to area. Wasn't one in the area of the Dordogne I lived in, but previous area ( south of Toulouse) there were a few supermarkets had them in their car parks.

The speedlav by photomaton website lets you search for ones close to you.

Search for machine - laverie, and then put in a town or click search nearby.

Don't know where you are but I just tried it with Poitiers (I studied there many moons ago) and it brought up a couple.

 

[yodeli]

I could not find any list of the supermarkets using this type of washing machine. Funnily I discovered they were an English investment . A group called Photom. Here in France it is Photomaton which is mainly for selfies in cabins.

If I find more info I'll let you know.

Brilliant.
I also may need a speedylav after oysters, as they tend to have that effect on me. And if I don't find one in time the washing machines will be useful.

Just perfect thanks. Just need to pick an area which we may be in.

We've found laundromats at some of the larger "Elephant Blue" car washes.

I'm sure that a youthful gentleman like your good self has no need of oysters.............

Just be aware that not all supermarkets close on a Sunday afternoon so they could be busy!

I use them frequently, so much easier than van or site alternatives.
I don't have a list of their locations but it would be very useful to have one.
With so many of us wandering that land maybe we should all keep a record of those we discover and put the details here somewhere - Resources?
I'd be quite happy to collate details from PMs and stick on a spreadsheet if that would help.

Great info. Does anyone know if there is anything similar in Spain?

Seen them in Spain
Noticed them outside fuel stations more than supermarkets.

Think it was Repsol.

We have used these supermarket Laveries all over France for a few years. They are generally very easy to find, if we come across one, we use it, if we don't see one, we wait, but if you head to a large shopping area, there is usually one somewhere, together with a service point at a larger fuel station.
A list of them would be a good idea though.
We have one in our Super U in Loudeac ( Brittany) together with a service point and GPL pump.
There is also one a few km north of us at Plaintel in the Intermarche car park.

 

[Xabia]

There are some in the Repsol garage in Javea on the dual carriageway between the town and the Arenal.

 

[shawn&emma]

Thanks for all the comments and information. Dropped into a Super U this afternoon to get petrol and in the carpark found the machines. So all cleaned and smelling fresh again. Good machines and driers that actually dry unlike many campsite machines that seem to try to dry the washing by blowing cold air through.
Three sizes of washer, 6/10 and 18kg at €3.50/€7 and €10 a wash and driers at €2 for 16 minutes. €0.50 for a pot of powder.

Two more in the Haute Vienne for the list -

Châlus - the new Intermarché has them (Revolution) in the car park. Two sizes of washing machines and one tumble drier. The system offers a text prompt when the wash cycle has finished. This supermarket can be seen behind the Elan garage which is on the left on entering the town travelling south on the N21.

Aixe-sur-Vienne - the large of the two Super U, which is on the outskirts of the town, has them in the car park too. The machines look identical to those in Châlus from a distance. The car park for the other Super U, nearer the town centre, is useful for a visit to a private laundrette which is situated on the crossroads there.

There is a free aire and a washing machine station at the Carrefour Contact in Labastide Murat just off the A20 in the Lot.
