Suddenly, however, with this trip, I feel obsessed with accumulating as much memorabilia as possible, just in case this many years pass again before my next visit.
No, I'm not talking about bringing home a case full of miniature Eiffel Tower replicas, berets for all the neighbors, or a year's supply of frog leg soup. Yes, there are many things I know I won't be bringing home, but I love imagining what we will find...
Now, I'm sure that as soon as I'm back in the City of Light in a few days, I will have no difficulty filling a spare suitcase with de vrais trésors français. We are sure to discover many! Nonetheless, I thought it might be fun to ask:
What have been your favorite souvenirs to bring home from France?
Leave me your great finds in the comments! It will be fun to see which we can find!
Glossary:
de vrais trésors français (French) = some true French treasures
It's pretty hard to *not* find something wonderful to bring back home. However, check out O & Co (several boutiques a Paris) for some pretty fab olive oils and especially the Modena Balsamic Vinegar. I love it so much I've had to order it a couple times since our last visit....absolument parfait pour les salades!

I don't know if the French actually say this or not, but consider that suggestion as fait accompli! Merci for the tip!
