Vegetarian and Vegan France 
I’m going to be spending 3 months in France at the end of this year, and am curious if all of the regular vegetarian ingredients (TVP, tofu, tempeh, seitan or vital wheat gluten) will be available, and if so, what their french names are so I can ask for them properly. Where would be the best place to find these products? Natural food stores?
I am considering hoarding some TVP in my luggage with me, but this would be a bit silly if it is freely available!
I will be staying in Strasbourg if that makes any difference.
Thanks in advance. đ
Hi Fey,
Tofu is available in all supermarkets (as are other soya products, like milk and yogurts). TVP you can get from organic shops (organic is known as Bio), and you can also find most other things in the larger Bio shops. If you are staying in a big city then you shouldn’t have any problems. It probably wouldn’t do you any harm to bring your own supply to begin with, until you find the best store.
Good luck!
Thanks for the reply Humpbuckle! đ
Are the larger bio shops a chain? If so, which should I keep an eye out for?
It’s good to know I won’t have to worry as much. I found a vegetarian pizzaria not far from where I will be staying too!
Just look out for the word Bio and you should be fine. I don’t know of any large chains, but we live in an area without big shops (the nearest McDonalds is over 40km away- hurrah!).
I think I will need to buy things to be delivered, so learning all about that is another thing to add to the [Stuff to learn] list. Where to buy gluten flour to make seitan, the nicest yeast extract made in France, nice vegan cheese that melts…
Hello, I am going to Arcachon for two weeks in August, self catering, and wondering how easily I’ll find vegan products please, if anyone knows? Don’t need fancy meat substitutes, basics will do as I cook from fresh a lot anyway. Thanks.
Hi Lisa, there are a few vegan products readily available. Tofu, soya milk, oat milk (and other non animal milks) are available in most supermarkets (probably in the organic – Bio – sections. You will be able to find more vegan products in Bio shops (organic/health food shops). Hope this helps đ
