On previous trips, I have always brought some back to the US from the Famille Mary shop on the Rue Cler. I am now aware of several other choices: the UNAP boutique (rue des Tournelles), Les Abeilles (rue de la Butte-aux-Cailles ), and La Maison du Miel (rue de Vignon). I understand that daily markets may also have good vendors, but I can't seem to find any more detailed information in that area. Does anyone have any comments on these sellers, or others? Thanks.

My favorite honey is that produced on the roof of the Opéra Garnier. It's a fascinating story:

It's sold in the Boutique de l'Opéra and at Fauchon.

I know from my travels in the Île-de-France that honey is a local specialty of the Gâtinais region, specifically Milly-la-Forêt. There is a shop in Paris where you can buy products from the Île-de-France, including honey from the Gâtinais region, called L'Echopée Locale:

Outside of purchasing my honey in Denmark, my #1 honey choice, from the 1970s to the 1990s, when in Paris, I purchased my honey at La Maison du Miel, on the rue de Vignon, a short walk from Fauchon. Although I'm in Paris, almost annually, it's been a while since I last purchased honey. But, when I did, La Maison du Miel hit the spot. Happy Travels!

If you haven't been to Butte aux Cailles, it would be worth buying the honey there even if it weren't the apex of perfection ;-) that you might get elsewhere.

Are there any restrictions as to how much honey you can bring back to the states?

StCirq

No.
