GF Friendliness

GF Friendly

France benefits from strong EU allergen labeling laws and excellent supermarket “sans gluten” sections at chains like Monoprix and Carrefour. Paris in particular has seen a boom in dedicated gluten-free bakeries and restaurants since the mid-2010s — the scene appears to have improved dramatically since my visit in 2014. Traditional French cuisine leans heavily on wheat (baguettes, croissants, crêpes, flour-thickened sauces), but naturally GF options like ratatouille, salade niçoise, and crème brûlée are widely available.
