Anyone bought Campinggaz 907 refill in France recently?

My two Campinggaz 907’s need refilling before we head off on a trip to Spain and wondered if anyone knew the price to swap empty 907 for new in France please.

Our local UK dealer is charging £34 so wondering if it’s worth hanging on till we get to France

Thanks
 
Try Googling Decathlon.fr or, say, Decathlon Saumur or Decathlon Calais.
 
Was talking to couple at Cite Europe at the tunnel who had just changed a 907 and they said it was very good value.

Cheers

The Castorama chain sell the 907 exchange (recharge) for 25.49€
IIRC, a few months ago.

Compared to the UK, perhaps. But still a very expensive way to buy
gas. Only resort to if there's no viable alternative or for convenience.
 
Most Hyper markets sell them in store take your empties to customer services for a voucher to use at the till

They do. Some close to the UK price though, Carrefour for one.
Polar Bear's Hyper U seems like the best price, so long as it's
economically convenient of course.
 
I went to France last september. Was quoted about £36 for a new bottle here so I waited till I was over there. It was about £18 in Super u - so half the price compared to UK.
 
Thanks everyone. Sounds like the price differential makes it worthwhile to hang on till we get to France
 
Camping gaz UK rip off

Don't know why but prices for camping gaz in the UK are a rip off. I have refillable gas on my van but also carried a 907 for my portable BBQ. We were in southern Italy last year when the inevitable happened (I have since had a gaspoint fitted to my van) It was difficult to find but with the help of a local I managed to source a refill at a hire shop, 18 Euros, compared to the UK price of £30-35. How do Camping gaz justify the price difference.

It's not the fault of Camping Gaz, in Morocco a 907 refill is under £2.00. Over here in UK, the franchise is handled by Calor, who are the biggest Rip-Off merchants around.

I fill mine 2 at a time at the autogas pump for £7.00 for the two. I have an exterior filler point fitted to my car to enable this, but this is no good when running out abroad in the van.

If you can hang out till Spain, go to a small town ferreteria (ironmongers), where an exchange will cost 12-16 euros.
 
There are ways to get one over Calor, and that is to refill a Camping Gaz off one of
their big bottles. Not that I'm advocating anyone doing this, of course.

Well I've never bought one but have took particular notice on many occasions and never saw one above 20€ yet

Well 2 of us have identified Castorama selling at 25.67€.
A refill on ebay UK = £25.

Not too far off level pegging. And there's a fair chance of the £ and the €
hitting parity in the not too distant future.:sad:

We always wait until we get to France, it is so much cheaper. We have paid on average 21 Euros and generally get them at the larger supermarket chains - Intermarche, SuperU and others. We have been charged £35 in the UK so don't bother here now. We have paid 15.50 Euros in Spain but I think this was a bargain but they are there to be had. Good travels.:wave:
