What we do with your answers
- We read them one by one, by hand.
- We write guides: what it is, why you cannot find it here, and whether it can be brought to France legally (customs, health rules).
- We show verified businesses (grocers, restaurants, producers, craftspeople) what is missing, so that they can offer it.
- Nothing is published with your name: we do not ask for it.
Please note: fresh products (herbs, fruit), products of animal origin (meat, milk) and plants are subject to very strict rules; we do not talk about medicines or remedies.
Are you a business looking for one of these products, or do you make it? Publish a request: we present it to verified businesses.
