Just returned from 2wks in the Dordogne, Heinz beans/ketchup/take as much fresh meat as you can fit in fridge as its more expensive and the steaks arent that good. They sell steak Haches in France either frozen or fresh and these are lovely cooked on the BBQ, take plenty of sausages as theirs arent nice. I wouldnt bother with cooked meats as the Ham over there is gorgeous much tastier than ours, we loved the french baguette with Ham/Cheese and Pate. I took two packs of Lurpak spreadable as the butter is expensive I also took a tub of Clover but weve got a large fridge freezer in van. Cereals, crackers, crisps, biscuits. We loved going round the Supermarkets and they sell a wide range of stuff, especially Yoghurts etc for the kids and they are similar price to here, we spent 85euros on first wk and 76 on 2nd but that inc lots of wine! We didnt find it that much more expensive than here and they sell a great selection of fish and meats, salmon steaks were 4 euros for 2 large ones and tasted great on the bbq. I also took a packet of fish fingers for the kids as these were about 5euros a pack!! ideal for a quick tea.  I hope you have a fab time, we loved France and will be returning next year, it is def worth that bit more money to go as the weather is much better than here. Au reviour!
