For those wondering about the dairy selection in France, it's a lot more nuanced that shown in this video. If you are from north America, there is this type of dairy product that says UHT on it, those are the shelf stable before opening dairy items because they are extremely high temperature pasteurized. Again for those from North America, those items are only good for hot things like coffee, tea, hot chocolate, making other desserts or cooking where heat will be added to it. For anything more on the cold side any UHT dairy product is going to be absolutely disgusting to anyone that is more used to "fresh" dairy products, it'll taste burnt, so be aware of that. You can buy fresh dairy products like cream and milk in the refrigerated section (she said they won't have them in the video, but they do, they exist, in both cow and sheep milk, every store will have them, don't worry) but you won't find a huge selection of them, and it'll usually only be 1% (demi-ecreme) or whole (entier), skim milk (ecreme) is only ever sold in the UHT version. As for creme, this is where it can be the most complicated. There many different types, there are UHT versions of everything, so be careful, just because the package says "creme" does not mean it'll be the cream you're thinking of. Creme legere will be more like "half n half" that most North Americans are used to, yes, but it isn't 30% butter fat, nor is creme entier at 30%, if you want good heavy whipping cream (or double cream I guess it the UK word), you want "creme fleurette", if you are intending to whip it it must have a fat content of over 30% butter fat (on the back label this will read as "matières grasses") and it CAN NOT be UHT in any way or it won't whip up, if for some reason you end up with a cream that is UHT or not at least 30% butter fat, there is a stabilizer you can buy called called either chantifix or fix-chanti or cremefix, they're all the same and most french people use it because they almost always will have the UHT stuff and don't know about the not UHT rule for whipping, lol. Anyways, I know this is long and most people just visiting for a couple of weeks won't care about this but you'd be surprised how often someone has visited and met people and said "oh, let me make you something for our picnic yadayada for thanking you" and you ask for items but then your recipe that ALWAYS worked in North America jsut falls flat, lol, wanna know how many times I've seen this happen, lol, sooooo many times, lol. Also, cream cheese does in fact exist in France, but if you ask any French person they will have no idea what in the hell you're talking about, lol, ask for Philadelphia, just that, not even cheese after, just say something like "Est-ce qu'óu je peux trouver Philadelphia?" or something like that while in the dairy section and they will know exactly what you need, also most if not all plain fromage tartiner can double for cream cheese though it's not exactly the same.

@emiliecoats this was a great comment. When I first got to France the dairy was the most perplexing thing! Now I use St Moret instead of Philadelphia 😊

I remember the first time I went into a grocery store in Paris looking for eggs. In the US, these are refrigerated. Not so in Europe. I was trying to imitate a chicken when the store employee said: "oeuf?" and walked me to the aisle where they were kept. Things are different outside the US and finding the differences is fun!

@searchingfortruth5995 2 года назад

Why are the eggs not refrigerated?

@yaowsers77 2 года назад

@@searchingfortruth5995 They don't pasteurize their eggs. Fresh eggs have a layer of protection against bacteria. Once you pasteurize eggs, that layer is gone. People who grown their own chickens and gather the eggs here in the US also don't refrigerate their eggs unless they can't use them in a reasonable amount of time.

@LiamWalsheliamskitchen Год назад

Not all milk is shelf-stable in my experience. Most, yes, but I did find a few varieties that were not, for example a variety called "Marguerite". From what I understand, this one is actually not pasteurized, but rather microfiltered. It is absolutely fantastic. I would absolutely recommend this one if you can find it. Also, on my last visit to France, I discovered Picard, which is a frozen food store. I tried a few frozen pasta dishes from there and they were EXCELLENT considering they were frozen.

Love the channel!! But I have to agree, I struggled as an American trying to work my way through the grocery isles in Paris. I mean the set up is just different from what I'm accustomed to here in the states. But I met a really nice French sales associate at the supermarket I visited; she was very generous and patient in taking my questions on where to find certain items. At times if I was unsure of certain ingredients on the label due to the language, I asked her. Lovely lady! Lol and if you know me, I hate searching for things I didn't put away, it wears my patience very thin

It just so happens that we have a Franprix and a Carrefour City within a couple of hundred feet from our Airbnb. Of course we'll make some meals, we'll be there for 2 weeks with our 15 year old teen, and renting a cottage the previous 3 summers here in the Eastern Townships in Quebec, I'm used to cooking in a kitchen which is not my own. Being Francos from Québec, we'll have no trouble with labels and such. We have decided that for breakfast, we'd go to one of the boulangeries/pâtisseries we have nearby and get croissants every morning. We also have two boucheries and a fruit and veggie store and there's an open air market on rue Saint-Charles a couple of days a week and also there's two fromageries within walking distance. Can't wait to see which cheeses they have the I already know from working at Agropur Fine Cheese distribution Centre here in St-Hubert. I instantly recognized the Rustique, which we are the sole importers and distributors here in Canada. One thing for sure, I'll bring back a couple of boxes of Cracotte for my soon to 21 year old daughter, who will skip the trip and stay and take care of the cat, see to my mum and has also been working at Tim Horton's since the end of the holidays, so she doesn't have enough vacation time yet to tag along. Hope to bump into you guys when we're in Paris in 2 months! Salut la compagnie! Beaux bonjours de Montréal!

I always recommend people do this when hunting for a fun souvenir at a low price. Nothing like buying a bottle of French Campaign or wine for a quarter of the price you would pay in the States. Typically, anything over a bottle is subject to a small tax when coming home, and even then, the customs officer might let you slide within reason.

So is Monoprix a grocery store? Is it like a Target that carries groceries? What is so nifty about Monoprix bags? Just curious. Good to know that over the counter medications must be bought at a pharmacy. Lots of good info. Oh, will I be able to purchase Sassy at a grocery store? I need to try that. Thank you.

@LesFrenchiesTravel 9 месяцев назад

Most grocery stores have lots of non grocery items. And some, like big Monoprix markets around Paris have very large sections for clothing and such.

Over the counter Medicines are generally NOT sold in the supermarket, they are only at the pharmacy. That was hard to understand my 1st time there

Hello. My son and I will be traveling to Paris in August. We currently trying to plan our trip. From SA. Very nervous though, we traveling to Qatar, then Paris, from there to Marseille then to Abaghn. My question is, by the Paris airport can we get on a train and travel straight to Marseille? And what does it cost in Euro a ticket? Please advise. Your channel is very helpful, thank you kindly.

My first trip I was delighted that only sugar cubes are used! I pocketed quite a few, and they came in handy when I was walking (and walking!) and I needed extra fuel. Plus, IMHO they’re much more classy.

@@LesFrenchiesTravel Ha! (I'm just going to assume you've watched the old Looney Toons animation, yes?)...this makes me think of a Bugs Bunny 1952 short "Rabbit's Kin," featuring the one-time character Pete Puma. (RU-vid now forbids posting any copy-written work in its entirety, but you get the point with the 1-2 minutes of footage they allow.)

I worked at a grocery store here in the Northeastern US (NJ specifically) for 12 years. I have since made a career change, but whenever I travel, I enjoy going to a grocery store. Its interesting to see what some stores have, how they are set up, etc. I do plan on making a trip to France in June. I plan on spending a few days in Normandy for the 80th anniversary, and a few days in Paris. Your videos have been EXTREMELY helpful. I am just curious...I want to bring some stuff back to the US...specifically, liquids. What is the best way to do that?
