In Paris, I was obsessed with the Monoprix. I wanted to go in every one of them. Forget wine and perfume, I wanted to buy toothpaste, detergent, dishwashing soap, cookies, lipbalm, shower gel--I wanted it all. With the dollar the way it was (and is), good thing I didn't. But it's nice to know you can find many of these things at the charming website Basic French.

I LOVE Basic French :-)
I love it too--oh, the money I could spend on dishwashing soap and toothpaste!
You don't even want to know how many hours and how much money i have spent at Monoprix. I wish you could order things online at more places than just basic french, but it's a good start!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one! My parents are going to Germany in December, and I told mom to just go in the drugstore and buy me lip balm and lotion!
Monoprix reminds me of Cameroon too. There are stores in Yaounde and Douala.
we should do a swap sometime of french goodies for american things :)
