Things to buy in France?

Question

If you were to go to France what are some things you just couldnt come home with out? (ex. french wine, mini eiffel tower, etc.)

Answer 1

Some really neat antique books from the sellers at Notre Dame along the Seine.

Some antiques from one of the markets in Paris.

Enough Provençal fabric for curtains and decorations for my bedroom.  It's very heavy, canvasy, or duck, but much more elegantly printed.  Bright colors, really pretty stuff, makes nice upholstry.

Some canned things that you just can't get in this country.  I might have to go to Galleries Lafayette, to their grocery (I'm assuming they have one, like Harrod's and Corte Inglés.  Might be a different department store).  

a cookbook.  One with lots of pretty photos of the food and the regions.

Of course, a couple of bottles of wine.  

A painting bought directly from the artist in Montmartre or Montparnasse.

And TONS AND TONS of photos.
