Stuff that is nearly impossible to find in France
Chambord, oh, Chambord! You delightful black raspberry liqueur you!
This bottle was discovered in the local grocery store in KylieMac's America. Note the $34.96 price tag. I mean, after all, this stuff is *imported*, you know.
This modern version was inspired by a raspberry liqueur which was produced in the Loire Valley during the late 17th century according to the website. Since it is claimed to have been "introduced" to Louis XIV during one of his visits to the Château de Chambord it must be known all over France? Right?
Wrong.
Just ask Katia, who called about 50 different wine shops in Paris trying to find a bottle. If I recall, only one or two of them had even HEARD of the stuff.
We did, however, manage to find some eventually on a mini-break to the Loire Valley.

But $34.96 is like what - 5€ nowadays?? ;)
