DIA is just the Spanish equivalent, and Ed used to carry lots of DIA products, and it looks like they have just chosen to standardise their international brand. The only plus side about Casino/Geant, I would say, is that you get 5% off on mondays if you are a student, but otherwise, go to DIA. Yeah, in fact, Ed was owned by DIA before.

It is at the Louis Maissonat stop in Tram A line- Direction Fontaine La Poya.It is at the same location where the old ED store was situated. But the new store is much bigger and offer all products under the brand DIA. It is really cheaper than Casino products which I used to buy being happy about the "smiles" I recieve on each purchase and later discovered that they are all over priced. Check out the new DIA......

I know all about 'free' tram rides. I've never done it myself but have had to pay hefty fines for each of my three daughters. I won't pay up again - their 'but everybody does it!' falls on deaf ears these days...

I've been looking for a cheap bike and I'm definitely going to check out the Métrovélo option. I had no idea you could rent them so cheaply for a long period. Really great post!
