I adore European pharmacies! They always have the best finds. I also love that you buy butter when you’re in Paris. I only recently started buying salted butter at home (in Canada). For years I would only eat it at a friend’s home — an unintentional habit — and she made the comment, “you know you’re an adult, you can buy any kind of butter you want!” After I exclaimed how yummy it was. Good butter is essential.
Rebecca - thank you for bringing Paris to life in all seasons! Now that I am visiting Paris frequently to see my daughter, I, too, have started packing ziplocks and mini ice packs for bringing home butter in my checked luggage. Question about chocolate - can you expand your suggestions to include a few more options? Buying chocolate in Paris can be like buying a piece of jewelry and sometimes more casual options are hard to find. Merci!
I must have died and went to heaven the first time I tasted butter in France. I thought I was the only one who packed it in my return suitcase! I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one 😊❤️
Am a fellow Breville owner and it’s always about the coffee! 😁❤️ Looking forward to a quick trip to Paris via London next month and will check out some of your recommendations. Thank you!
My suitcase is filled with products from a citipharma 💕. Monoprix for inexpensive souvenirs. Love shopping at the grocery store stocking up on jams. My gf once brought home some Comte cheese RIP.

You must try bringing back some French butter on your next trip!
I must also get back to Paris… I will keep you posted on both goals!✨
I need to go to Paris with you!!!! Such great ideas to bring back 😊
Yes, please! I would love that so much. Thank you, Marybeth! xo

Hi Julie,
Absolutely! Are you looking for more shops that sell chocolate or specific items with chocolate in Paris?
Loved this article! I’ve only been to Paris once, back in 2006.
