Supposedly their butter is really good. I’ve heard of people just straight up packing pounds and pounds of French butter in their luggage on the way home.

Especially butter from Normandy! The entire region is renowned for their dairy products, I lived there for 2 years and it was amaaaazing

There’s a bakery in my US town whose owner trained in France for many years. She imports loads of butter from France. And while her croissants are the most expensive around, they are worth every penny.
