Cheap, online electrical retailers in france?

I'm in France, and I need to buy a washing machine, and maybe a TV. I am going to need it/them delivered. Can anyone recommend an online retailer? Cheap is good.

(Assuming they're as they are here in Spain), Carrefour is probably a good place to start...

I've lived in France for 10 years now, and have ordered online from Darty several times, with good experiences. They usually have online specials that can be nice deals. Their prices are among the lowest in France, and they have good garanties. I once ordered a refrigerator that had a manufacturing defect, and they replaced it without a problem (shipping and removal included). I also ordered a washing machine from them last year -- they install them for free.

Don't mean to sound like an ad (I'm American and have never been affiliated with them), but as appliance retailers go, they are one of the oases of polite and professional customer service here, too.

I don't think Carrefour delivers appliances?

My bad, that will teach me to look before posting -- apparently Carrefour does now deliver appliances! (though it does cost extra from them)

Seconding Darty.
