I don't remember the names of the shops that are as bad as the BGS...
There are equivalents that look like warehouses but there's a lot more competition than here.
From the ones I mentioned, Castorama is on the cheaper end but still looks more like a shop than a warehouse and Leroy Merlin is nicer.
Then in the centre of Paris you have the dream of the DIY shop, the 'BHV'... with prices that go with the location. I always go for a stroll when on holidays...
