picture lights

I'm looking for where I can buy picture lights. I would Google if I knew the French equivalent! Any info on the French word(s) and on a shop in the area would be helpful.

Keria ,between Darty and But (next door to Pier Import) on Portes d'Espagne in Perps have more sorts of lights than you can shake a stick at,Colin. To be honest I'm not sure what picture lights are exactly,but,if anyone does 'em ,they will!

That's where we bought our outdoor lights, Like John says they have an enormous choice, I didn't notice picture lights but then again I was not looking for them. There was another big lighting shop at Pollstres near Mageleine Pools (on the road towards Le Boulou) but they were more expensive and had less choice.

You could try Leroy Merlin

You can look online, leroy merlin.fr, Eclairage, Eclairage de Tableaux

Thanks, everyone. We were in Keria yesterday looking for a ceiling light , but it was only last night that we thought also of picture lights (by which I mean the kind of light used above a painting to illuminate it). As you say, they have a wide range so a return visit will be in order.

I'll try these websites

Bit off topic, but whats the new shoping centre at Girona like, is it worth the drive?

For me it was ust another shopping centre! Nothing special - unlike the La Roca outlet village just north of Barcelona!

Agree with John and Elaine on this one. I assume you are talking about the Espai Girones near the Girona S turnoff.

It's OK as faceless shopping centres go. Hideously overpriced in the main;much better deals can be found elsewhere,but OK for a nose around if you're going ,say,to meet a flight at GRO. One or two nice(ish) eateries on the top floor.

Just googled La Roca looks great, thanks.

I've seen La Roca many times on the way into BCN.

What is it,and what goes on there?

La Roca is a designer outlet village offering low price designer wear and household stuff. It's run by the same outfit who own the Bicester, Portsmouth and Dublin villages and a good day out. Hide the plastic!!
