While hard cheeses like Beaufort and Abondance may be available in the U.S., they cost less in Paris, and they travel and keep better than their soft friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you make your purchases, do so as close as possible to your departure date. Ask your fromager to seal them <em>sous-vide<\/em> so that they won\u2019t stink up your suitcase or get crushed on the way home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/eric-prouzet-q-kCfjiAFjc-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A cheese shop in France with rows of different cheeses to select as a gift from Paris. \"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The people sitting next to you on your flight may not appreciate that you brought cheese home from France, but you&#8217;ll be happy you did.

If you want to get a nice bottle for your girlfriend\u2019s mom but can\u2019t remember if she likes red or white, grower Champagne is a sure-fire crowd-pleaser. Small producers who don\u2019t sell their grapes to the big houses make their wine from start to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/pexels-photo-11914925-769x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"woman shopping for French wine\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bring back some great French wine.

La Roche-Posay sunscreen stands out as one of the best, and while you may find it elsewhere, in France, you will discover all formats from sprays to lotions, at far more reasonable prices. Caudalie produces phenomenal paraben-free cosmetics whose <strong>active ingredients come from wine grapes, for a totally French flair<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paris-based travel journalist and guidebook author Lane Nieset loves the offerings from <strong>Buly, as you can customize the cosmetics boxes<\/strong> to suit your whims, though she\u2019s a particular fan of the all-natural Baume des Muses lip balm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe turn-of-the-century-inspired case is customizable, so you can choose one of more than a dozen shades and have initials stamped in gilded letters,\u201d she says. \u201cIt even comes in a sleek velvet pouch, which will make this gift even more exciting to unwrap.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walksdevour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/alexey-turenkov-sX0df8f9IlI-unsplash-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"A row of perfume at a French shopping market. \"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>France is well-known for their cosmetics, making it a perfect gift for someone special back home.
