it's really huge !!generaly called "centre commercial"

Answer 2

There are many hypermarket chains (combination of supermarket + department store). They sell EVERYTHING: food, appliances, anything for the house, gardening, electronics, TV, bikes, games & toys, jewellry, home phones, cell phones, furniture, clothes, shoes, bags & suitcases, outdoor and camping, you name it, they have it... French hypermarkets are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypermarket...

They also sell online:

Carrefour: http://online.carrefour.fr/vente-achat-e...

E. Leclerc: http://www.e-leclerc.com/home.asp

But since Argos doesn't seem to have any supermarket section the real equivalent would just be a department store (a French invention by the way): BHV, Galeries Lafayette, Le Printemps are the most famous ones.

Answer 3

You mean a catalogue shop like Argos, or Index, or Littlewood in Britain. Yes, here we do have a catalogue shop like that called La Radoute, though it's product range hasn't got as many variety as in Britain.
