These wares can be keychains, souvenirs, or even bottles of water in some spots. It’s a good idea to avoid them at all costs.

If you do want to take home souvenirs, there are plenty of souvenir stores around French cities. On the other hand, if you want a recommended travel hack: Get your souvenirs at the supermarket.
