Lost in a French supermarket? You’re not alone.

Imagine stepping into a Parisian grocery store for the first time: you came for a simple baguette, but now you’re surrounded by mysterious cheeses, endless rows of yogurt, bottles of wine you can’t pronounce, and sausages that look like they belong in a museum.

Supermarket Survival France is your ultimate guide to shopping like a local. Written for American travelers, expats, and food lovers, this book turns confusion into confidence. With humor, cultural insight, and practical tips, you’ll learn how to:

✅ Decode the dairy aisle and pick the perfect butter or yogurt

✅ Navigate the cheese counter without panic (and order like a pro)

✅ Understand French wine labels and bring home the right bottle every time

✅ Master charcuterie, from saucisson to pâté

✅ Recognize iconic French brands and what they mean to locals

✅ Choose the right supermarket chain for your needs, from Monoprix chic to Lidl bargains

✅ Fill your basket like a French person — and avoid tourist mistakes

Whether you’re planning a vacation, moving abroad, or just obsessed with French food, this book is part survival manual, part cultural passport, and part love letter to everyday French life.

Don’t just visit France. Shop it, taste it, and live it — one supermarket trip at a time.

Perfect for readers of French Women Don’t Get Fat, Parisian Chic, or Rick Steves’ France.
