One of the most interesting takeaways from the study is about independent grocery stores offering local and organic products. Here, Montpellier really stands out: with 6.32 of these types of grocery stores for every 10,000 residents, the city ranks 2nd nationally in this category, just behind Marseille. This figure confirms a deeper trend in the Southeast metropolitan areas, where a strong attachment to local products and a more responsible consumption translates into purchasing habits and thus into business opportunities.
