Ah, but you are lucky, Zelda. You have Monoprix and Carrefour and Monsieur Bricolage and BHV.
Every time I go to France I stock up on French products. In the UK the face-creams say, "reduces the appearance of fine lines". --An ambiguous statement. But in France they boldly say, "contre les rides". Irresistible.
I now have a cupboard full of French face-cream, plus any amount of French soaps, paint-brushes and a pretty blue plaque saying '12' on my door. I've still got the beginning of les rides, though...
