Find a different French souvenir
Find a different French souvenir

The author, France went to Paris the other day. I was fascinated by the historical cityscape and many museums, parks, and restaurants, and it was such a wonderful city that I couldn't have enough days to stay.

Bonjour!
Bonjour!

And when it comes to traveling, choose souvenirs. The author has received numerous "French-like" souvenirs such as candy from the Eiffel Tower and key chains. On the contrary, I already have it, so I think I don't have to buy it myself anymore ...

So this time, I will introduce the "realistic" miscellaneous goods (and food) found in supermarkets and pharmacies in Paris! The rate at the time of travel was about 140 yen per euro.

■ Find popular souvenirs here! "MONOPRIX"

"MONOPRIX", which operates all over France including the Champs Elysees, is a comprehensive supermarket that sells everything from clothing and groceries to stationery and household goods.

A wide range of French stationery such as "Rhodia" and "Moleskine"

Among them, the one I noticed was tableware. You can get a plate with a stylish design like Paris at an affordable price of 1,000 yen or less.

Also, the French flavored tea "KUSMI TEA" that you can see at Japanese food select shops is a great deal. The Russian-style color scheme and design are so cute that you can make it a fashionable friend. It is characterized by its high aroma, and the taste is perfect.

Another thing I would like to buy at Monoprix is an eco bag for 1 euro. There are various color variations, and the size of B4 that can be hung on the shoulder is not sold very much in Japan, so it is quite useful as a sub bag. It's not bulky, so it's perfect for souvenirs.

■ Common sweets are delicious

In addition, you can see "Bonne Maman" sweets at various stores such as "Franprix", a supermarket chain that can be used like a convenience store. Famous luxury brand sweets are good, but France is a gourmet country. The sweets of the common people that you can buy for about 500 yen are also very delicious!

The photo shows lemon tart, but we also recommend butter-rich galettes and salty madeleines. I think you will also be pleased with the bottled jam with a cute gingham check lid.

■ That popular cosmetics are very cheap at pharmacies all over the place !?

Another characteristic of Paris is that there are "pharmacy" everywhere in the city. What you should buy here is "BIODERMA", a cosmetics brand for sensitive skin from France. Cleansing water, which is less burdensome to the skin, is very popular in Japan, but it is quite expensive, so it is difficult to try it easily.

However, in Japan, the 100ml (3.38us fl oz) type, which costs 1,000 yen or more, can be purchased in France for 3-4 euros. A set of two large bottles is also a great price, so I would like to buy them in bulk as souvenirs for women as well as for myself.

Even though it looks like water, it can be dropped firmly and moisturized.

In addition, a pharmacy with a wide selection of Avene, ROGER & GALLET, and organic cosmetics should be irresistible for cosmetics lovers. Please drop in!

By the way, the author who bought too much and splurged even though it was a petite plastic. I have to dream of the day I will visit again and work hard ... Even if you don't plan to go on your own, why don't you ask if you see someone around you?
