Softtouch, we are going to be living in Grenoble for a 3-year assignment. I am alternatively thrilled and terrifed. Food-wise, I am thrilled about the tasty, cheap wine and cheese. But I'm scared that I won't be able to find a good burrito...

True, peanut butter (Skippy and the local brand) usually is found in the "exotic" food section in the large hypermarkets. (Exotic = international, depending on the hypermarket chain.)
As for burritos, you may wind up having to roll your own. The same exotic food section does tend to stock taco shells (usually the soft kind - the hard ones seem harder to find). Refried beans are tough to find, but the raw ingredients should be available. Bring a good recipe book with you!
