French products - where might I find...
I'm in America (Oregon), and I'm having a hard time finding those beautiful little individually wrapped cubes (rectangular prisms, rather...) of sugar (beet sugar, I think...) that while in Paris I found all over the place - at every café! Some had pictures of the Eiffel Tower, some had flowers, some had cartoons, some just the name of the café... they were so great.
ALSO - Where may I purchase a bottle of Dr. Valnet's Odarome? Or something similar?
Thank you! |

The sugar cubes, you may not find anywhere in the USA.
They are more or less specific for each area.
For the other stuff, try *googling* for it. |

In France you usually can't buy these either - you can easily buy "cubes", but without any wrapping. The ones you get at a café or restaurant are usually custom wrapped. Whenever you find wrapped sugar lumps in a shop, then that would be with the sugar brand name on it, or because of a very special event (you could find some during the 1998 soccer world cup in France, for instance, with French players pictures on them) |

*sigh* That's what I was thinking... oh well! 
I have googled for the odarome, though... every time I find it the page is only in French and does not sell products to the US.
I guess I just need to book a trip! |
