Bonus Tip: Traveling Beyond Paris?
If your trip takes you outside Paris — especially to Brittany or western France — don’t miss the chance to visit an official Bordier boutique! 🧈🇫🇷
These are the original locations where the butter is handcrafted and sold ultra-fresh — often with unique flavors not available elsewhere.
🗺️ Full list of official shops:

✅ Cities like Saint-Malo, Rennes, Nantes, Caen and others are home to Bordier’s own shops. Worth the detour!
Useful Tips
✅ Check the expiration date – Bordier is all-natural and preservative-free, so make sure it’s fresh when you buy it.
✅ Vacuum-sealing for travel – Most gourmet stores (and many fromageries) offer vacuum-sealing for €1–€2. In summer, ask for an ice pack to keep it cool.
✅ Need delivery in Paris?
You can order online and have it sent to your hotel:
✅ Taking it home internationally?
Most countries — including the USA — allow you to bring small quantities of packaged butter.
📋 To avoid issues, always check your country’s official customs website:
- Quantity limits
- Declaration rules
- Any seasonal or sanitary restrictions
✅ Can’t find it on the shelf?
Just ask: “Avez-vous du beurre Bordier ?” (Do you have Bordier butter?) — many stores keep it chilled in the back.
