PARIS—E-commerce giant Amazon has made further inroads into food retail in France as Casino’s upmarket Monoprix chain became the first local retailer to agree to sell groceries via Amazon.

Future cooperation could extend beyond France. A source familiar with the talks said on March 27 that Amazon and Casino were negotiating a deal in Brazil either partnering or selling Casino’s local appliance and electronics chain Via Varejo.
