Carrefour Grand Évreux Shopping Centre

The Centre commercial Carrefour Grand Évreux is a shopping centre located south of the Évreux agglomeration in the Eure department of Normandy, France. Administratively it sits in the commune of Guichainville. Opened in 1974, it covers a surface area of 35,000 m² and is built around a Carrefour hypermarket, complemented by an offering of 70 shops and restaurants. It is one of the larger shopping centres in the Eure department. The site's commercial history began in 1970, when a Mammouth supermarket opened on the edge of Évreux along a slip road of the departmental road 1013 (then national road 13). That store became a Carrefour in the 1980s, anchoring the shopping centre that carries the Carrefour name today. The centre has been owned by the company Carmila since April 2014, and it underwent a renovation and extension programme in October 2018. Access is provided by the departmental road 1013 and by line T7 of the Transurbain network, and the centre has a car park with 2,500 spaces. In 2019, beehives were installed around the shopping centre, a move motivated by the presence of different tree species that do not flower at the same time and by the fact that no phytosanitary treatment is carried out either by the agglomeration or by the centre's managers. The centre operates as a regional retail destination for the Évreux area, combining a large-format grocery anchor with a mix of smaller retail units and food service. Its ownership by Carmila, the listed shopping-centre company associated with Carrefour, ties it into a wider portfolio of retail properties in France and southern Europe.

The commercial site that became the Centre commercial Carrefour Grand Évreux began with a Mammouth supermarket, which opened in 1970 on the edge of Évreux along a slip road of the departmental road 1013, then national road 13. In the 1980s, that store became a Carrefour, and the shopping centre developed around the Carrefour hypermarket under the Carrefour Grand Évreux name. The centre opened in 1974 and covers 35,000 m², with an offering of 70 shops and restaurants around the hypermarket. Administratively, the centre is located in the commune of Guichainville, south of the Évreux agglomeration. It is served by the departmental road 1013 and by line T7 of the Transurbain network, and it provides a car park of 2,500 spaces. In April 2014, ownership of the shopping centre passed to the company Carmila. Carmila is the shopping-centre company associated with Carrefour, and the acquisition tied the Grand Évreux centre into a larger portfolio of retail properties. In October 2018, the centre underwent a renovation and extension programme. In 2019, beehives were installed around the shopping centre. The initiative was undertaken because of the different species of trees present that do not flower at the same period, and because no phytosanitary treatment is carried out either by the agglomeration or by the centre's managers. The centre remains active and is listed among the larger shopping centres in France.
