We are going self catering to france for the 1st time in a couple of weeks. As we are typical brits we love our cooked brekky although are more adventerous when eating out at night!! I was wondering what the bacon is like in france is it worth buying %26amp; if not are there still restrictions on taking bacon into the country?

Hi, I hope you get an answer, because I`d be really interested.
We`ve been going to France for many years and have never found anything to compare with ours. There is some very thin smoked bacon we found in Carrefour. It was ok as a substitute, but not the same.
Dont let it put you off visiting France though, absolutely fabulous country, you`ll love it.
Regards,

bacon will probably be danish
It would be like a French person travelling to merseyside and expecting to find authentic French Bread - The French don%26#39;t do bacon (especially English supermarket bacon, although I can usually find proper bacon in the country France) and the English dont do bread.

Bacon, as is usually available for an Anglo Saxon breakfast, is simple difficult to find. (Actually I have rarely if ever seen it.)
What the French often do use in cooking which is similar are lardons. Lardons are not exactly the same but rather thick, diced bacon. They are excellent when added to simple dishes such as omelettes, sauté tomatoes or beans, salads and a variety of other dishes.
French breakfasts tend to be light; cereal, croissant, baguette with butter (une tartine) etc.
Of course one may prepare what he likes but a bit of improvisation may be in order.
