==== ABOUT LES FRENCHIES ====
After 32 years in the US, the Duponts moved to France where Antoine was born. Antoine is rediscovering his homeland and sharing it with his American wife Colleen. With the help of his brother Vincent, a renowned Restaurateur (and food snob).
They are on a quest to find the best France has to offer.
There are over 35,000 villages in France, all with their own history, culture, and food. We are on a journey to discover as many of them as we can together. Let’s go.

Eiffel Tower pasta!! 😊 I loved the French supermarkets. My husband found a bottle of wine for 20 euros that cost $220 at home! The Nutella filled biscuits (cookies) are fabulous. Many Americans might be surprised at having to bring your own bag and bagging your own stuff. Oh , I almost forgot ~ the flavored plant based “milk” 😋 banana 🍌 , extra super Almond flavor ( marzipan) Delicious! Black current juice! So many fun things to try that we don’t have in the states. 🇫🇷

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.

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!

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

XL were the beat cheese crisps. Made in Lancashire and only available in the north and scotland in the 70s. An old sixpence a packet. Gone now. They were taken over by golden wonder. But, never the same. You used to open the packet of crisps and the cheesy lovelyness was amazing. You would swap crisps for the bottom of a Hartleys ice cream. Cheesy crisps and ice-cream work really well, with a splash of monkey blood!

@@marionappelbaum950 I usually buy my crisps in lidl or Aldi now and ready salted. I've just never come across such a cheesy flavour in Britain as in this french crisps. I do suspect that big manufacturers tailor their recipe versions to suit what sells best in different locations.

With regards to milk in France in living there (not Paris but have been there many times but in Strasbourg another gorgeous city) milk is something used strictly for sauces and cooking. In my 59 years of traveling and living there, I never ever saw a French person even a kid sit there and drink a glass of milk nor eat a bowl of cereal.

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.

Not all grocery stores have clothes; only the hypermarches: Carrefour. Some clothing stores, Monop’, also have food. But dont expect every grocery have clothes. Don’t forget Picard which has the best frozen food in France. It is some place you need to visit. This video doesn’t mention the MOST IMPORTANT THING: YOU NEED TO TAKE A SHOPPING BAG. If you don’t have one, you’ll have to buy one, but you need to know you need one before you check out!

You can find peanut butter at Intermarché and most bigger supermarkets, as well as Naturalia which carries almond butter as well, albeit more expensive than in the US.

Re soft drinks: 7-Up markets a "mojito" (mint-flavored) version in France that you can't get in the US. It's terrific.

My mom was German. We grew up on and off base in Germany. She didn't buy snacks much. Mostly fruit and sometimes pretzels. No soda other than lemon or orange sprudel and mineral water. It was kept on the counter. Nobody ever asked me for ID growing up. We lived there from 72 to 96. I visited Germany every year until October when my mother passed away. I filled my suitcase with German foods and candy because I knew I wouldn't be able to go home again.

I noticed that you broke up the milk to get one. When we went to the Monoprix, we noticed that water was missing bottles from the cases too. Also I had to buy emergency clothes there too. I had to get them cleaned because they smelled like seafood. I still wear that shirt it is very comfortable.
