23 posts and I didn't see wine mentioned. I am convinced that the French keep the best stuff for themselves, but won't stop you from buying it there and taking it home. There is a very nice wine shop on Place de la Madeleine where you can get help in English. Buy as many bottles as your party can bring home duty-free. ^ Hediard is just across the corner and also carries some wines, but I love the fresh foods there - the fruits and cheeses.
