French milled soaps
 
I'm looking for a place in France that makes bar soaps. I'm looking for a small factory. I saw a short story about it on the travel channel but was unable to catch the name.

There are loads of them, but WHERE in France are you going to be? No point in telling you all about the ones in Brittany when you're headed to Provence.

Exactly as StCirq said. We passed two factories in Provence -- since we went to one in Grasse 10 years ago, I didn't feel the need to go again.

I bought several lovely bars of soap at a market near the Bastille this summer, and wish I had bought a case I LOVE it, Lavender, Lily of the Valley, Rose, they are great! Is there any good place in Paris to buy soap?

There are hundreds of great places in Paris to buy soaps, starting in any pharmacy or department store or Olivier shop or literally a gazillion other specialty stores or even Monprix or Franprix.
