907 cylinders are what we use. They are easily sourced, I have changed them in all the supermarkets you posted in the past. We pick them up In the store though, (with the camping gear), as outside at the service stations they only carry the huge domestic bottles usually.

Yes you get them in supermarkets and if you are exchanging one then you have to go to customer services first and hand in the old bottle for which you receive a voucher that you give to the cashier with the new bottle. We made the mistake of taking our old bottle with us to the checkout tills and the poor till girl just looked baffled.

Remember they won't have CampingGaz in the gas cages in the garage forecourt, it will be inside the store itself, in the camping/leisure/BBQ section of bigger stores. The usual method is to take your empty to the Customer Services desk and they will either send someone for a new cylinder and do the handover there or give you a token which you hand to the checkout operater with the full cylinder you've picked up from the shelves. Only rarely and in smaller supermarkets will you take your empty bottle into the supermarket in the trolley. In my experience it also pays to check they actually have full ones in stock before you go to Customer Services. You can usually get 907s, 904s and sometimes the old 901s. But inside the store, remember. Not the garage bit!
Decathlons stock them too btw.

We bought some at Intermarche last year & even managed - with very little french - to swap ours that doesn't have a screw top, we just put the connecter on the new one at the till...bit stressful at the time, trying to explain wth sign language!

As has been said above most of the bigger supermarkets have 907s, some of the smaller ones do too. But as has been said inside the stores with the camping gear. The big cages outside hypermarkets with 15kg gas bottles or bigger are what the French use for their domestic cooking supplies. There are many rural properties in France that dont have mains gas, as they dont use gas for heating as much as we do in the uk.
