France is known for many a splendid thing but here are some notable items you might want to consider bringing for yourself or loved one:
- Macaroons. Places like Paul or Ladurée package them for travel (but they are still VERY delicate so carry on and keep a close eye on them).
- Wine especially from the Burgundy or Provence.
- Champagne from....Champagne!
- Dijon mustard from....Dijón!
- Chocolate.
- French milled soaps.
- French perfume - maybe some local and exclusive to Europe?
- Luxury goods from French brands like Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, Cartier, DuPont, Boucheron, Chanel...the list goes on....
- Hand painted prints from local artists. I bought three from one who was painting along the Seine - I kid you not - totally stereotypical but totally true.
- Antiques from France like tea cups and sets, vases or perfume flasks make unique gifts (Marché aux Puces de Clignancourt is a flea market with 1,000 vendors!).
