What Are Your Favourite French Products?

[Bathsheba]

Ooooh great list too Fiona! I don't think I have tried Pernod yet... but I have seen it at Dan Murphies (a good place to buy lesser known French wines and spirits) and will buy some next time.

Linen Spray: yes! If only I had bought it for the bottle... I could have easily replaced the contents with my own substitute. I remember going to a L'Occitane shop in an alley on the Left Bank in Paris... standing in the doorway was a very attractive French man holding a platter of preserved (candied) fruits. I sampled some... mmm.... will never forget that moment. The store there had lots of food items... local olive products and honies I seem to recall... about half the store looked like a grocery. I bought a few items thinking they weren't available in Australia but now they are... i don't think we will ever get the foods though. Love their Vervaine range and their Miel & Citron (honey and lemon) Eau de Toilette... that is what I put on most Saturday mornings as I prepare to escape.. I mean, leave for my "me time" in the city

the "So Frenchy, So Chic" compilations are great too

my le Chasseur pots...lifting them in and out of low cupboards is a great way to tone your arms

movies with Charlotte Gainsbourg

Lancome lipgloss...juicy tubes!

coq au vin

Arrogant Frog wines...delicious and tres reasonable, love the Ribbet White
and veuve clicquot for very special occasions!

Dom Perignon.

When DH and I went out for dinner to celebrate our engagement, we had Dom Perignon for the first time. We even had a French waiter who made such a fuss of us. It was lovely.
