- Is there a difference between making a French Charcuterie board in France vs. making the same in the US. In this video, we make one in Paris and then travel to Florida in the US and try to do the same. In the end, we reveal what we found.

3:23 AM in Oregon... Couldn't sleep, and now this. I am drooling.. time to hit the fridge and assemble a charcuterie board.
Warm regards to you from Baku, Azerbaijan, Mate!
I literally just told my husband and son last night that one of the simple joys in life is a lovely glass of wine with a bite of good cheese. I love that you can have similar experiences, like making a killer charcuterie, no matter where you live. What you showed here was the experience many will have, which is to go to a local grocer, which again goes to show that no matter where you live or what your resources are, you can create the same delightful meal.
Wow! You two always go the extra mile but you’ve surpassed yourselves going all the way to Florida! Have to say though that the French board looked even better than the US one. Loved the look of the paté and all the cheese, oh and the roasted nuts!
Les Frenchies is one of the best TH-cam channels featuring nice foods and experiences which are good and at reasonable prices. Very down to earth people. It’s so nice seeing them appreciate each other with date night. How romantic.
I have found their shopping suggestions to be reachable by most people who like things French but who might not be so fortunate to live or travel there.
I go to Paris annually and just returned after a two week stay. I walk, use the metro and love the bus system. Normal day to day things that I like doing. The charcuterie shops, boulangeries, etc are everywhere. Not so in the US except for larger cities. So we shop in places where that stuff is available like Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Publix, etc. Even in France, “regular folks“ buy stuff like that at local smaller stores like Intermarche and Monoprix.
I’m heading to Naples Florida on Monday. Not sure where Coleen and Antoine are but I’m sure they’re having a wonderful time together.
Bientôt…Josef.
Whole Foods croissants(the butter ones) are better than all of the bakeries in the 15th. Just saying lol.
@@yusefkhan1752 never had any in the 15th but I agree WF does have good croissants especially the almond croissants.
@@JD987abc I was lied to by france, they always bragged about their quality items but I found the majority of it to be just very low quality and not have a lot to offer.
Both boards look fantastic! Thank you for the tips.
Loved this! Just ordered my hugging boards and will be visiting trader Joe's soon! Thanks. Really enjoy your videos. Will be in Paris in July and am definitely rewatching your recommendations on where to stay between the Latin quarter and Marais...decisions decisions...
Yall are wonderful💕 Will be visiting in April. Your videos are so helpful! Thank you & keep posting 👏
When I started watching your videos, which I enjoy so much, I never thought I'd see you shopping at the same Costco where I also shop! So funny! I've also been to that Trader Joe's a few times. Your videos are great. Thank you so much for sharing.
Merci Beaucoup for all of your videos, you make me very excited to go to France for my first time this May. You are both such a beautiful couple and if I ever see you in Paris, I will treat you both to a nice meal. Keep up the great content and your appetite for adventure and discovery. C'est la vie!
There are 2 Costco’s just outside of Paris. One is inside the outer loop north of Massy and the other is East of that. Also, good cheeses from France and Belgium (well, my taste buds think they are good) at Aldi grocery stores and Ingles Markets can be had in the U.S. I don’t work for any of them but my husband enjoyed charcuterie boards and I would make them up when he was in the mood. My grandson works at Costco.
While in Paris, I sure don’t want to shop at Costco when there are so many beautiful local merchants in any neighbourhood you stay in.
Thank you. It’s perfect idea for incoming Valentine’s Day at home.❤
Grabbed a set of the boards to surprise wife. Thanks!
I just love you guys. Such love in everything you do. ❤
Love this video and love you two! 💖 Great charcuterie board ideas for a party of two to a larger gathering.
cute boards, if you go to Trader Joe's they have a great wine called Pontificus from France Yummy!
Hi Les Frenchies. I just ordered the charcuterie board set. A nice addition to my entertainment collection. Josef.
I love your channel! I live vicariously through watching your vids 😂
You two are living the life ! Please don’t stop I love watching your adventures ! Hi from Australia ❤
Hi les Frenchies. I’m taking a break from the beautiful weather in Naples Fl and have been binge watching your videos for the umpteenth time. Always a great pleasure. Bientot, Josef.
Loved this and YES always a glass for the cook while creating!!
I Like your style, having a glass while preparing. Great Charcuterie boards!
Wow that is good to hear! Thank you for sharing!
Love this channel and love this couple. Great job, guys!
Thank you! Absolutely delicious to eat and gorgeous to look at.
Ordered! Thanks for offering them!
I love your content that you put out . . . Keep up the great work
I loved this video. I have made several and enjoy making these so much.
Love this video. Merci beaucoup!!
Yummy! We love to have charcuterie board when friends at our house.
Two thumbs 🖒👍up for this episode these boards are one of my favorite things💙💙💙
Fun video. Notice the difference in pronunciation immediately...not surprisingly the French drops a vowel. Both presentations were great. When we grew up, everything was called hors d'oeuvre. No crudite..just vegetable platter. No charcuterie..just meat/cheese plates. Nuts went in bowls. Mom did make canapes...yes. Never thought about wine while prepping. Thanks, Antoine. Cheers to you both from Wisconsin 🐄
Very romantic! I loved both of your charcuterie boards!💓💓💓
Lovely idea for Valentines
Hello from Australia 🇦🇺 😊 👋
Bonjour! I ordered and received these adorable little hugging boards. They're awesome! I was also surprised to see they shipped from Kaysville, UT, which is just up the road from where I grew up! Looking forward to using and displaying them! Thank you for the video and offering them! 😊 Merci beaucoup!
Je vous regarde même si je ne suis pas friand de charcuteries car vous laissez transparaître beaucoup de gentillesse et de douceur de vivre. Merci beaucoup.
Colleen, the red looks stunning on you! So pretty!
Did you find that there was significant difference between the cost for this in France vs the USA? I'm think this cheese and cured meat is more normal in France while in the USA these would be considered to be specialty items with a higher cost. Thanks for the great video. Hello from Canada !
In the USA it is imported food. In France, it's locally made
In France most of the meat is local, the EU norms are waaay more strict than the American ones and we have the french law as well that push it farther wich means we have good quality meat for a pretty fair price, if you go to a specialist the meat will be even better, but it's kinda expensive thus why we usually go for the retail store meat and cheese rathen than a fromager or boucherie
Thank you for including us in your worl
Wow great video ! HA ! Thanks for suggesting about making a Charcuterie board seeing that it’s Valentine’s Day tomorrow.
Hello, just wanted to tell you I am loving your channel. We will be visiting France on July 30th for only 2.5 days but I am excited. Leaving from Dover on a train after a cruise. Was going to do the Jules Verne restaurant on the 31st but you have given me so many options I don’t know anymore lol. It’s our 29th anniversary and I am trying to make it really special. Thanks for this video. I am happy to say I have a hugging board on the way 😀😀
Love the this new content, Les Frenchies! How about some more French wine recommendations?!
@@LesFrenchiesTravel Either or both! I loved how you shared the bottle you were drinking with the charcuterie. I was able to look it up and find it so I can try it with my next charcuterie! 💕
Good to see you guys shop at Lidl too :D
Merci beaucoup 👍👍👍💕💕💕
thank you this was fun to watch and learn!!!!
😊
I ordered. Love the boards and your charcuteries!
Mmmm. Looks great. We did a giant full table charcuterie for our last big Christmas party (in the before times). It was a HUGE hit. It was such fun to "build" with my friend, using various boards, adding mounds of nuts and fruit and piles of crackers and bread rounds. It was beautiful and delicious.
Love watching yall channel
Yumm. I today have some Chateau Hautte Terres Bordeaux /white/ with avocado&sun dreid tomato sandwich. Treat extraordinaire! Life is good, life is great. I am greatful :)
Yum!! Looks amazing!!
Great video thank you for sharing ❤
Beautiful!
Très splendide et jolie vidéo culturelle du week end
@@LesFrenchiesTravel de rien et bonjour
What a great video!
You two are adorable! Both boards look scrumptious, but I wish we could buy duck mousse at our US grocery store!
I think that Trader Joe’s is the perfect grocery store! This was a fun video! Thanks!
Nice! Really great video.
Ah! You picked a great topic! I have always been desperate when looking American charcuterie board with only one or two pieces of charcuterie and tons of fruits or cheese.
After watching the video I regret that your French charcuterie board is so Americanized: some cheese, nuts, some Italian charcuterie… There are enough types of ham and salami types in France to remain there. And charcuterie is not limited to that. Yes you added the easiest-to-eat pâté, but there are other types, some terrines, pâté croûte, rillettes, not to mention other things like boudin, grattons, rillons…
And at the end it is great to learn that the American could make great charcuterie boards too.
@@LesFrenchiesTravel Indeed many options.
In a Parisian bistro, there are usually three options :
- charcuterie board
- cheese board
- cheese and charcuterie board
And yes Italy and Spain have great charcuterie. And other countries have some great stuff. But well if charcuterie is a French word, there is a reason for that. ;)
I bought your cute boards hope you get some kind of bonus:)) Thank you!!!
Y’all are so cute together. Love this video.
@@LesFrenchiesTravel awww thanks for answering! I hope I find love like yours someday. Until then I will continue to watch your paris videos and plan my 4th solo trip to paris. Never been in the summer so I am looking forward to it.
wow that grocery store in France is AWESOME
You are both so incredibly sweet! Loved this idea :)
Italy also does amazing charcuterie boards
Hello.
As a French guy, i'm happy about the cheese you put on board, even if the meat side was very weak for what france has to propose. Even so, I loved it and I know it's somewhat normal for a US man to do the plate he likes the most with french style.
Great content! Picked up 2 sets - one for us, and one to use as a house warming present.
Hi Les Frenchies! Love this vlog! Tried to order the boards for an engagement gift but there doesn't seem to be an option to ship to Canada? Is this correct?
You two are such a cute couple. I'm ordering mine today.
thanks for the good idea to make a French charcuterie board~~~
Thanks 👍
Allez, on y va! J'adore
Both charcuterie boards look yummy but I love Colleen’s charcuterie board 😀
That was great, but the bread in France is wonderful and I find it difficult to find here in the US. I will be in Paris in June. Please let me know if you will be having an event or wine/food tour. June 19-26th. Thank you for all the incredible content! Hugs from Palm Springs
My French relatives like Iggy's bread when they visit the USA. They say it's the closest to French bread.
I'm European living in the USA. Finding a local deli, or ethnic stores that will slice the cured meats fresh is best. I live in NNJ, so for me this is fairly easy, i just hit our local Italian and Portuguese deli/ stores and i have all the cheese, cured meats and bread freshy sliced. I even tried the polish deli and they have pretty good ones too.
I love charcuterie because of its relatively healthy simplicity. Its so flavorful and can be so unique to the creator and adjusted for taste. it's something easy to romanticize.
Thx U for showing this. ‘Cause when I saw your last Charcuterie board - immediately, I was like why do they put so little content on their? When u did this video it validated what I was thinking. Thx U.
😊🤪🙃
Hi, do you have any recommendation which restaurant to have a nice & affordable dinner for valentine day in Paris?
Thank you
Do you remember where you bought your cutting board with the olive dishes at the corners?
Delicious 👍😋
I’d die if I walked into Trader Joe’s or Costco and saw Colleen!!! I’m glad you added some pickles to your American board😉 yummy!
Bonjour Les Frenchies. I wanted to let you know I use my new charcuterie board set last evening while entertaining a few friends. They were a great hit. So easy to arrange and although they held a large assortment, they didn’t take up much room on the table. I just finished watching your latest with your friends. Fantastic adventure. Any chance you could post something similar around a couple of destinations around France ?
@@LesFrenchiesTravel bonjour les frenchies. Thank you for your reply.
I’m rewatching the bucket list show. Every place you’ve highlighted would be great to see. Chartres is excellent and easy day trip from Paris by train from gare montparnasse.
Dunkirk would be very interesting especially given its importance as a major evacuation city during ww2.
I’d love to see the hot air balloon ride and a tour of the Loire valley. Regville looks interesting especially given its proximity to Colmar. Did you know there is a French boulangerie in Naples FL named La Colmar? The owner is from Colmar and does a wonderful job. Lyon is fabulous too. Les Bouchons and the food are a must. Carcassonne and its environs would be great too.
Anyway I’m grateful for anything you decide to post. A bientot. Josef.
When you come back can you go to : Au pétrin moissagais, in Bordeaux. He make bread with a fire oven.
How do you keep the apple from discolouring?
Thanks for the great video! I’ll take a charcuterie board in Paris over one here in Ohio every time! 😂 Regardless, I’ll be making one for my husband and I for Valentine’s Day! ❤
As a curiosity it would be nice to know how costs generally compare from France to USA.
Whaaaaat ? Not shipping to Paris ? At least a link to a Parisian store that sells them ! 😢
Вы красавчики! Люблю с вами путешествовать и кушать
Every state has different laws about alcohol. No wine or beer in Costco in Connecticut where I live.
Something that I always wondered about, as I saw in one of the last shots: I was told to get off the grass at Champ de Mars, nowadays I see all kinds of people cavorting on the grass...maybe things have changed in those decades?
Some are off limits, some are allowed. It's indicated. There is also a time of the year when the grass needs to rebuild itself.
What about an electrical Food Slicer? You can slice all ingredients even thinner than with traditional knife.
Great video, thank you, Wondering if those packaged meats and cheeses in France are natural with no preservatives? Here in Canada we cannot get naturally processed charcuterie like I did in France 20 yrs ago. Steve(66 yrs) Canada
Thanks for your video. Everything is of course a matter of personal taste. I much prefer French saucissons to all Italian salamis, or from elsewhere. When it comes to raw or dry hams, I like Pata Negra and Prosciutto di Parma, but also low-salt hams from Bayonne and Kintoa (Basque Country). I also love the French "paté de campagne"! As far as the cheeses are concerned, I'm very picky and my choice goes to French and Swiss cheeses only. Bonne appétit à vous deux
@@LesFrenchiesTravel Yes we are a spoiled society
The purpose of a board is to slice on it. It’s used when guests will be slicing cheese themselves, and it can’t be crowded. If the meats and cheeses are sliced ahead of time, any plate or platter can be used for serving. Due to bacteria and guests’ dietary and religious preferences, I don’t like meats and cheeses touching, and I like fruits, nuts, and crackers in separate dishes. They can be displayed together in an appealing manner.
You two are adorable
thank you ☺️
maravilhosos!!!
I'll take the US one. It looks sooo much better/more filling.
Yummy 🤤
❤ well, the French certainly eat late. Thank you for sharing! Always fun to know what people in other countries do.❤
I'd be interested to know if the quality of the French products is better than that of the American. Mainly in terms freshness and flavour.
You should ask Dr Oz how to make a Charcuterie Board in Pennsylvania - if he actually lived there...🍟
Met this gorgeous gal at Sal's Cafe about a month ago, on the home from work. Her double soy mocha with fair-trade cinnamon was a bit too fancy for my no cream, no sugar, no nothing French roast taste, but what the heck, we got along OK.
After meeting there a few times over the next few weeks, I invited her up to my place for a quick after-work snack, before going out to dinner and a show. Aha, but little did she know that, after *watching this video,* I had an ace up my sleeve! I went to all the little markets, to get the finest ingredients for my "date night charcuterie board"--and, of course, the best bottle of Bordeaux I could afford.
The big night arrives. She comes in, takes a seat. I offer her a glass of Bordeaux--only to learn that she doesn't drink alcohol. A bit disappointing but, OK, so I offered her a Perrier (glad I had it on hand!), excited at the prospect of showing her my beautiful charcuterie creation. I bring the board out, covered with a tea towel. I whip away the towel with a flourish, while in my best terrible French accent saying _Et voilà!._
Suddenly, a muffled shriek. Then:
*I'm **_VEGAN!_*
A charcuterie hero, on French bread, washed down with an expensive bottle of Bordeaux while watching _Dirty Harry_ didn't exactly "make my day". Or evening. But it was better than spending an evening listening to my newly-discovered animal rights activist.
I still enjoy my French roast at Sal's. I read the newspaper.
As a french parisian i think its a shame to showcase store bought plastic wrapped charcuterie. going to an epicerie and buying it fresh cut is rarely more expensive, causes less waste and doesnt encourage mass consumption. 🍄🌞
Good point.
@@LesFrenchiesTravel did not know your channel is only for Americans....unsubscribed.
Proud European.
@@LesFrenchiesTravel I watch many of your video, and as a french most of you showed is pretty good. I liked your video, it's really cool to watch. Keep it up !
@@edm.3484 it’s not just for Americans. Why be so rude?
@@edm.3484 you have obviously misunderstood the essence of this channel. So, no great loss you've opted out. Au revoir.
You have 2 costcos in paris!!! They have nuts etc 😁
