What French souvenirs to buy on your trip (according to a Parisian)

- I don’t know about you, but I love to “travel like a local”. Whenever I visit a new country, I love to buy, eat, drink, and experience the same things that the locals do. Are you the same?
If so, you’ll love today’s episode, because I’m going to explain what things tourists buy when they visit France that French people NEVER buy - like macarons from Laudrée or “traditional” wool berets.
I’ll also tell you what French people buy instead of these things, so that you can indulge in them too and have a more authentic experience when you visit. Best of all, I’ll break down the correct pronunciation, so you can ask for these things with total confidence on your next trip to France!

I don’t speak any French. I always wanted to learn but the pronunciation seems very difficult to me. You are the first teacher that pronounces things so clearly that I managed to repeat some of the words. I am definitely going to check your other lessons.
Her videos are great!
What do you find difficult about French pronunciation?
Because I don’t speak French, it is hard for me to say what is so challenging about French pronunciation. My native language is Polish so I should not complain about pronunciation! ;) I’ve learned German and English so I definitely have the ability to learn a language. I also studied Spanish at University for two years. I have never used it so I forgot nearly everything I had learned but I did not find it too difficult when I was studying it. I think that French is very intimidating because it seems that what is written and what is pronounced are two completely different things. I simply struggle even trying to repeat words or phrases. Maybe there is a trick to it. I tried to listen to French news just to get used to the sounds more but somehow it just does not click with French for me. It’s a pity because I would love to learn.
@@AniaBumba Spanish is a phonetic language, meaning that if you read a word you can pronounce it. French is not, though, the more you study its phonetic, the easier it gets. You need to understand the silent letters and the letter combinations. Also, the grammar structure of French is very similar to Spanish. French looks impossible, but it's not that hard. And when there is a will, there is a way ♥
@Learn French with Lexie - French for Beginners - Thanks for the encouragement. I am moving to Amsterdam soon so Dutch will be the next language I learn. When it comes to French, I just think I would really benefit from going to a well structured class or having a tutor who would help me with the pronunciation and understanding of basic grammar. Maybe French is just not a language, which I will be able to pick up myself but I simply need more instruction and that’s ok too.
I just found your videos, I studied French over 25 yrs ago and I found your videos to be better than the course I took. Maybe because my teacher was American? I like how you explain things. I look forward to watching all of your videos. My bucketlist of travels has always included visiting France, and my dream of seeing the all the famous places in Paris. I look forward to learning more so when I do travel to Paris it won't seem overwhelming.
Thank you so much
I love the very detailed emphasis on pronunciations!
When I visit Paris, I try to do this at least once every few years, I shop at Monoprix Dragon. I know it isn’t typically French but in the basement they have an amazing salad selection and the juiciest prawns I have literally ever tasted anywhere in the world. I rarely get five steps out of the supermarket before I am eating the prawns as I walk down the street.
It is perhaps not, as you say, an authentic reflection of French appetites in France and would have been better if I had mentioned a boutique or small independent retailer but it is what this Scotsman gravitates towards before he does his usual route of visiting the beautiful churches and beautiful gardens of Paris.
It is wonderful to know we can, even though domicile was not adopted, visit such places whenever we can.
When we used to go to France "en vacances" no trip was ever complete without the final days' visit to the hypermarché with a shopping list - moutarde de dijon, mayonnaise de dijon au tournesol, Kango biscuits, Amora vinaigrette, Crème anglaise, variations of Leffe beer that you couldn't find in the UK, William Saurin cassoulet and not forgetting the wine of course! Usually 'Cellier des Dauphins' (I know, it's not the best 😂) One time in Normandy we found an aisle filled exclusively with Calvados 😋 Always worth checking out the local supermarkets for 'Produits régionaux' for the local specialities, there will usually be a section dedicated to whatever the region is known for.
Your exquisite pronunciation is so enhanced by your lavish use of luxuriant red lipstick, Superbe!
You are beautiful teacher
Note to any Francophile, learning to make a gratin dauphinois is a must if you want to try eating like actual french people do on a day to day basis. It's surprisingly easy to make , incredibly delicious and can be made with readily available products you can find in a lot of countries for pretty cheap
Please do a segment on French perfume, skin care and cosmetics! Merci
Don't miss the Fragonard museum and shop near L'Opera.
Dear Geraldine, thank you so much for adding pronunciation explanation and practice, it’s so helpful! The content is great as usual! You r doing such a good job for all those France and French lovers! Merci beaucoup, beaucoup!
My city now has a French baker (boulanger) who has croissants are Parisian like no-one else. He bakes with French flour (farine), French yeast (levure), French salt (sell), French ovens (fours), French recipes (recettes), and the French way of doing it (c'est à dire, pas laissez-faire). Every day there is a long queue in front of his little shop. And all this despite another baker 20 metres on and two supermarkets. On Saturdays, he employs six girls at the small counter and the queue is sometimes 100 metres long. This has been going on for five years now. He's married to a Dutch lady and everybody is now very happy.
Indeed, I can get La Durée macarons in Los Angeles. They are very good, certainly the best in the US. But in Paris, I always visit Sacré-Coeur. And when I go, I _always_ stop by a small chocolatier nearby called Christophe Roussel. It's right down the street from Métro Abbesses. Their macarons are divine! And so is their chocolate, of course :-) Because their macarons are made by hand, sometimes they have one that is a little too small or too large and they add it gratis :-)
You are the best. I love the content/information and the effort you are putting in your channel. Keep it up. I learned a lot from you
The quick expression on her face after she said that no French person would buy an Eiffel Tower souvenir was hilarious! 😂
Meanwhile, these lessons were easier to follow for a language with specific and intricate pronunciations. 👍
And, yes, she is a quintessential beautiful French woman and it fits her to a "F" (for French) that she should be teaching that language😊!
Great advice! I'm about to go back to the U.S. after 4+ months here, and it's helping me think of what presents to bring back.
I'd like to point out one thing:before anyone sacrifices space or pounds in their suitcases to bring home Le Petit Ecolier or Lindt, those two brands (of cookies and chocolate, respectively) are available in all the good supermarkets in the U.S.
And some no longer French property..
Your videos are so helpful and get me excited to study French!
This is so wonderful. Thanks.
Love your videos. Thank you!
Love listening to u, u make French sound so simple and interesting.. Thanku for your lovely informative videos.. 🤩❣️
I love your videos and learn a lot, thank you very much
My favorite grocery-store souvenirs in France are the Rocher Suchard truffles- especially the dark or "noir" version. They cost a fraction of what you would pay in the States and every person to whom I have given them tells me that it is the best chocolate the they have ever tasted.
Tlhat great for Suchard. Best chocolate in Paris : Le meilleur chocolat en 2021 : Tablette Chocolat Noir 100 % Cacao Maison Le Roux. Next time try Godiva, Leonidas, you will forget Suchard.
Merci pour cette video. C’était formidable. J’en ai besoin .🇫🇷🍫
I know it is silly, but a souvenir I bought for myself and friends were French made tea towels. Inexpensive, easy to pack and useful! It is fun to window shop the fine épiceries in Paris... tiny little jars of mustards and bigger ones of confits at incredible prices! (Made with 100 year old brandy or some such!) I always wondered if they tasted worth the price! :-)
We always bring back tea towels too.
Same here! I love the French tea towels and I like to give some nougat at the same time as well.
Instead of going to expensive épiceries such as Fauchon, you can also go to épiceries normal French people go to (not expensive stuff), local épiceries also have nice jams, nougats, sweats, moustards a dit preserves for aperitif…. So you can bring back affordable 5€ présent to your family
@@rouxanne-laure8938 where are the normal places French people shop?
Merci Géraldine!
They make very fine watches there too.
Merci Geraldine !
Bonsoir Profesour Geraldine, merci beaucoup pour votre suggestions en matière de souvenirs. Maintenant je ne vois pas le moment de rentrer en France.
J'apprécie vraiment votre aide avec la prononciation.
Merci un fois plus. À la prochaine.
Merci, Géraldine...J'aime beaucoup cette vidéo. Tu as des bonnes idées pour les souvenirs. Moi, j'adore boire du thé et des tisanes. La dernière fois que j'étais en France , j'ai trouvé des tisanes exceptionnelles, sans arôme ajouté. Les meilleurs souvenirs pour moi!
Nooo I´ve returned from my France trip literally yesterday... I did bring some things though you mentioned but will keep an eye out for my next visit :)
Love your videos, you're wonderful teacher.. I used to speak French and able to understand it longtimes ago when I live in Quebec. now i completely forgot because I live in Toronto only speak English. Your video is a very good review for me.
Thank you
Bonjour! Ça va! I love this video, very fun and interesting!!! Muchas gracias. Merci beaucoup! Odalis from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
En France, pour mes souvenirs et cadeaux originals j'aime bien les magasins Pylones (créateur de sourires).
I have just met my soul master of pronouncer. I must say she's come close to perfect. You could know French but many I met with errors even the purest from Touraine. Parisian always have issues with pronunciation. Only prefer shortcuts. Merci beaucoup Madamoseille👏🙏
I cannot think of a nicer souvenir to receive from France than a second hand children's book with lots of illustrations. With the help of a few pictures and simple text, I'd probably be OK with reading it!
All you need to know in this regard: Moutarde de Meaux. If you go out to the hypermarket by the Blvd Peripherique, you can get it a lot cheaper. I've never been able to find it at Monoprix or places like that.
J’adore les parfums de Dyptique! J’ai trouvé une boutique à Los Angeles l’été dernier et j’en ai acheté beaucoup ;). Mes petits-enfants veulent que je leur achète des boites de rillettes!
Salut Geraldine, merci
Excellent comme d'hab ! Pour un vrai goût de la Provence, j'ajouterai une bouteille de Pastis 51.
Just found your channel today and enjoyed your selection and presentation. Another great gift would be a Lampe Berger. I have sent these to friends and they love them. They freshen the air in the house, removing bad odors and leave a lovely fragrance.
Ahhh oui, the cannelés de Bordeaux! I liked them so much when I visited the region that I bought some boxes to take home with me... and they only lasted a couple of days. What I should have bought instead was a mould to try to bake them myself :))
Don’t travel with cannelés they don’t like that. Use a copper mould never a silicone one that is a part of the secret.
In US grocery stores (in Raleigh, North Carolina) I can purchase the delicious cookies Le Petit Buerre. I love to purchase dish towels (I forget the French word).
Dish towels = torchons for sweeping the Dish
Chaque fois, quand je visite Paris, j'achète de l'espelette comme un souvenir d'un magasin près des Halles.
I always get chocolate and praline covered hazelnuts at Fauchon
Do you have any recommendation for men's fashion?
Merci, I enjoy your videos as I try to practice my high school French 40 years later! Could you do a review of your bookshelf, s'il vous plait? I'm curious what classics you have, what contemporary novels or non-fiction books, and French authors you would recommend we read in English. Also, I am not sure that French cheeses can be brought to the US because of the unpasturized milk. Quelle dommage. When I was last in France, I fell in love with a soft cheese wrapped in chestnut leaves.
They definitely cannot be brought in. Even so, going through customs into the US a very stern man in a uniform gave me one more warning and said it was a $350 fine if you were caught when luggage was processed.
I like LU Paille d’Or - they were once imported to the US but can’t be found here now though some LU cookies are imported - great raspberry taste
I thought LU was Belgian? Either way, I have often found a lot of LU cookie and chocolate products at the supermarkets here in Texas, in fact a lot of European manufactured food products like chocolates, perfumes and wines can be found readily in the US or even ordered online, I don't know about other countries. Boutique items from small shops that are handmade there on the premises for local consumption are a different matter and would be more unique "souvenirs".
Hey, maybe you could visit a local flea market in Grenoble and see if they have vendors that are selling local craft items that they have hand made like small carvings or soaps. You might catch a farmer or cheese maker selling their local wares as well. It would make for an interesting video!
I am visiting your country in December for my 60th. I want local flavor and experiences. J'ai n'ai aucune envie de visiter la tour Eiffel. Linge ancien? Mais oui! I hope that makes sense!
I would like to bring Marseille soap, Le Cruesette cookware, de Buyer carbon steel cookware.
Until 2017 (when it was prohibited) lots of Belgians and Dutch used to like buying "tussipax" sirop in France
Super, as usual!
Alas, the bouquinistes are indeed artificial nowadays. But when I go home to Paris and have the time, I like to browse in second-hand bookshops.
Bérets are not quite "out" : I own two, real bérets Basques. They're very warm, which may account for their popularity with balding gentlemen like myself ! Almost impossible to find in London, where I live so I try to bring one back from Paris.
Le macaron: in London you can get the ones from the Paul chain. Try their pistachio flavoured one.
Cans: some French stuff can be found in the UK nowadays, but I've searched in vain for petit salé au lentilles, the delight you mention, and :that's a pity! Those cans are heavy to bring back, but worth it. I find the William Saurin one quite acceptable, but then I'm a barbarian.
In London I can recommend two French groceries for some chocolates, biscuits, sauces, etc. La Grande Bouchée in South Ken is a bit small, but drop in if you're in the area. Then ther's Marilou, much bigger, on the Fulham Road with a very large choice. It's on the web, of course.
Glad you mention l'Occitane. It has quite a few branches in London.
Un mois après le 11 septembre, ma mère française revenait aux États-Unis avec des souvenirs pour ses petits-enfants en Californie. A l'aéroport charles de gaulle, les agents de sécurité ont confisqué des porte-clés de la Tour Eiffel parce qu'ils était pointus comme une arme. Elle était tellement triste.
😢
Je n'ai pas vraiment eu le courage d'aller jusqu'au bout de la vidéo, mais je pense qu'un souvenir à ramener de Paris est.. Un "ticket T+" ! (Ticket T, Ticket de Metro) - surtout dans la mesure ou ils vont disparaître - ce qui est bien dommage alors que c'est un des objets symbolique de Paris ! Pour un touriste étranger - en avoir un qui est validé et un autre non validé - ce qui est vraiment typique de Paris. C'est un souvenir qui ne coûte quasiment rien !
You make me want to learn to speak French
Great video. The subtitles don' t make sense, is it my computer or is something wrong. Thanks.
I turned on the subtitles to see what they say, and I am not seeing any subtitles. Strange.

Hello Géraldine, I am learning French using lessons from your excellent channel..
You do not suggest buying a bottle of wine as a souvenir? I know that there is a lot of French wine exported to the USA, but what about small wineries that do not produce in volume?
Pour ceux qui rentrent avec des LU, il peut être intéressant de savoir que cela vient de 'Lefevre et Utile" (histoire de briller en société)
😂… I have bought macarons, and paintings , a straw purse and linen tote… some teas
I watch a channel called, "The Crafterpreneur." The woman from that channel likes to buy fabric from other countries as souvenirs.
I always come back with LU PiM’s biscuits.
Merci Géraldine, j'ai aimé cest vidéo. Je visité Paris et j'ai acheté quelques souvenirs comme magnets pour le frigo et porte-clés puour ma famille. Oui, ils son pétit, à prix bas et très practique pour porter sur l'avion.
J'aime aussi conâitre la cuisine de les lieus je visit, et le pain et vins sont toujours unes excellents options. Despuis de Paris Je suis allé à Avignon, dans la Provence et je suis tombé en amour avec cette ville. Et j'ai trouvé que les Carrefour sont une excellent magasines pour acheter souvenirs haha. Ill'ya beaucoup des vins, fromages, jambons et pain aussi (même si c'est mellieur dans la boulangerie). En Avignon j'ai acheté des savons de marseilles (j'hesitais que ces savons sont authentiques parce que il son perfumeés me t'as dis oui) et nougat.
Je voudrais trouver ici au Mexique le varieté des fromages, jambons et vins trouvé à la France. Mais... j'ais pitié des français à cause de la "cuisine mexicaine" vendue dans les supermarchés françaises. (N'est pas mexicains, il sont ordures Tex-Mex des États Unis :'( )
This is to anyone who has traveled to France or lives there.
I plan on going to France in the near future. My question is the food. I cannot eat anything I want to eat. So I worry about cuisine choices for me. I cannot have any red meat , pork, or fresh fruits or salads , or certain vegetables. It absolutely sucks. In the USA my diet sucks so bad. I worry even more in a country where I don't understand the food. I stick to turkey, fish and chicken here. Potatoes , carrots, sweet potatoes, and a few other things are ok. If someone has any suggestions on what i could possibly eat in France and the best place for it. This would be helpful and greatly appreciated. I wish I traveled to France yrs ago before this happened so I could have been able to try all the wonderful food there.
Le petit salé - est une contraction d'agneau élevé dans un pré-salé - qui existe aussi en anglais : salt march lamb.
(Erratum : Voir les commentaires pour la correction)
Pas de rapport avec l’agneau. Le petit salé est de la viande de porc conservée dans de la saumure
@@cleoarsinoe3396 Ah oui en effet ! C'était le souvenir que j'en avais et je m'étais trompé ! Merci beaucoup pour la correction !
Creme de Marron superbe
I like to buy Savon de Marseille cleaning products from France.
If you go to Brittany, bring home some caramel au beurre salé. OMG.
Merci madame de parler de notre beau Pays, la France, avec tant de plaisir.
Je devine que vous aimez notre pays, sa richesse culturelle et ses produits de qualité.
I come from Vichy and I recommend the "Vichy lozenges" Delicious mint sweets (pastilles).
and beauty products are famous.
'The little salted lentille' ? Well, I should try it! Yes, macaroons are a real treat. I agree with you ma'am
Why don't you talk about the sublime nougats of Montélimar one day? Absolutely delicious.
In Auvergne whe have "le saucisson d'Auvergne" et la truite meunière. (The trout meunière) the trout caught in the torrential Sioule River.
Bon appétit. Have a good meal.
LISTEN TO THIS NICE TEACHER. VIVE LA FRANCE MDR.
I was perusing my elementary French book when I discovered a surprising fact. French students go to school on Saturday and have Wednesday off! How nice for the parents to have some together time alone when away from their jobs. Also for the children to have a weekday free. "The school day in France typically runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with a half day on Saturday, although students do not attend school on Wednesday or Sunday. Lunch is a two-hour break for public school students. Students usually attend school from ages 6 to 18. The average number of students per class is 23." Sorry if this is off topic.
This is inaccurate for Zone 1.
@@janetmackinnon3411 How so?
@@bob48219 I think your information is outdated.
@@janetmackinnon3411 It's to be expected. I googled, cut, and pasted it. Also, my old textbook followed the adventures of supposedly a typical, French, Parisian family (circa 1960). So what IS an average, French student's school day?
No school on Saturday in France. School days are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Wednesday in off for primary kids but middle classes and hight schools go to school on Wednesday from 8.30 to 12.30 .Anyway throw your elementary French book and buy a more recent one. The school day for primary schools runs from 8.30 to 11.30 and 13.30 to 4.30 or 9 to 12 and 14 to 4 it depends on the school. Before Wednesday was a day off it was Thursday. There is an expression in French : la semaine des quatre jeudis. The week with four Thursdays. Lot of pupils have dreamt of such of week. We don’t use the expression la semaine des quatre mercredis.
I feel embarassed, I've been working in France many times now, I have even learned the language but somehow I have never bought baguettes at the boulangerie :D gonna have to give it a try next time :p
Going to a Le caviste will not be more expensive than the supermarket. You just give your budget. And try the local market to have local specialities (avoid tourist places - prefer places where local go)
Or the cheese shop!
Hein ? Guérande n'est pas en Bretagne ! C'est en Loire atlantique ! On ne va pas relancer les guerre vendéennes la dessus ! Je plaisante - oui - c'est assez près pour que cela puisse indiquer l'endroit approximatif ou cela se situe !
La fleur de sel de Guérande est aussi assez différent du sel de Guérande car c'est le uniquement les cristaux de surface (la fleur) et non le résultat de l'évaporation complète du marais salant.
PS : Attention aux faux amis ici (mais cela n'est pas quelque chose de la vidéo) : Marais salant et Salt march sont des choses complètement différentes.. Salt march sont des près salés, alors que marais salants sont des bassin de récolte du sel de mer.
Guérande est un nom breton, et n'oubliez pas que le chateau des ducs de Bretagne est à Nantes.
Instead of buying the cheap Tour Eiffel you can find one on the internet your like and get it print on a t-shirt or a bag

I love French macarons. I bought some at Ladurée when I was in Paris. My sister bought me packaged ones in a store here in the United States and they were horrible. They were dry and crunchy. It made me sad to think that someone might eat these and think that they were what a real macaron is like. I'm not sure if it is legal to bring meats and cheeses into the United States.
A few years ago I was returning from France and had a small bag of oranges in my backpack. I had been carrying them around for snacks and forgotten they were there. When I was going through Customs in the U.S. they asked if I had any agricultural products and I answered "no" which wasn't true. But they took my word for it, and the oranges cleared Customs. As for cheese, I've had French friends bring it to me, so unless they just didn't declare it (like I did with the fruit) it was no problem. And yes, I've brought home macarons from Paris, too!
All macarons dry out quickly so those in the US are just old. And non to meat and cheese,
@@ccmarcum you are supposed to place them atop your demitasse for a minute and let the steam from the coffee soften them.
You say people don’t wear a beret, but go to the city and count them, you may be surprised how many you see
Still miss seeing your videos about your own experiences Cheryl. Hope you're doing well and life's treating you with kindness.
@@KimberlyGreen thank you Kimberly 🥺💕😘
I love berets, I had one yrs ago and lost it. They are hard to find apparently because I haven't been able to replace it since. So when I go to France I will definitely be buying several.
Macarons will forever be entangled with M. Macron, now that he's been a president. The silver lining is that it makes for a great pronunciation lesson, comparing the similarities (such as last syllable nasal 'on') and differences (missing the extra 'ca' means you could be eating a French president by accident 😮)
Kennedy called himself a sort of pastry in his famous Berlin speech, when he said he was ein Berliner
Bonjour Geraldine - non pas du tout - je suis cycliste - mes souvenirs doit etre tres petit and portable
Lovely video! Very interesting but I would love it if you spoke no English at all and made it all in French. Is it possible? Please. Otherwise I keep thinking in English and I can't concentrate in the French language. Thank you so much.
Not speaking English, how would anyone who doesn't speak French learn? Speaking only French is when you don't need to learn how to speak French.
@@carlymichaels6833 You learn to think in French. You can take lessons in French. It's faster. You learn faster like that. It's the natural method. You need lots and lots of comprehensible input. I like immersive courses like that.
Pete' et pan...
There is already a joke going around with macaron vs. Macron.
"Comes in any flavour the public prefers" versus "Same, but he is also the president of France"
lol
Dirty French Postcards would be my choice!
I could eat calissons all day long! Mmmmmm!!!!!
"souvenirs" I always get in France.

I’m not learnning to speak fracnch,
Unfortunately most things I like about France are not souvenirs. I can only enjoy them in France
Eiffel tours souvenirs.... made in China most of the time : The worst souvenir... LOL
KFC?
I think showing us how to pronounce one time is good enough. I was here for the details but the part where you take almost 2 minutes for a language lesson actually is the reason I left the video early. Do the same thing but say it once and move on. Then suggest a language course at the end. If you want to teach the language please make seoerate videos bc I found that too much is not a good thing. Most of us want to know about what’s in your title not 5 minutes on how to province this word. Make another section for that. Constructive criticism. Not trying to be mean ty
Le fois gras est une barbarie, une cruauté sans limites. 👎
I don’t need a lessons of the pronunciation, all I need is what to bring back home in US. It’s too long to listen and make you fast forward what’s next, NOT INTERESTED how to pronounce it
J'ai eu récemment un échange avec une "youtubeuse" qui fait aussi des vidéos pour apprendre le français, et je l'ai entendu massacrer (de mon point de vue) la prononciation du mot "serrurerie", en oblitérant complètement le "re" central, sous prétexte que le "e" étant muet cette syllabe ne se prononçait pas (elle prononce "sé.ru.ri"). Personnellement, je pense qu'il faut au moins prononcer le "r" si l'on ne souhaite pas mettre une accentuation sudiste sur le "e", par exemple "sé.rur.ri". Etant originaire du sud, j'aurais tendance à accentuer le "e" comme "sé.ru.re.ri".... mais je ne me changerais pas. Elle a pris comme autre exemple la prononciation de boulangerie, mais dans ce cas elle prononce bien le son "j" : "bou.lanj.ri" et non pas "bou.lan.ri". Donc la consonne avant le "e" est bien entendue. Comme devrait l'être le "r" devant le "e" dans "se.rur.ri" et pas "se.ru.ri". Quand pensez vous ? Merci.
