Gluten-Free in France

Two years ago (see this post) we were hard-pressed to find much in the way of gluten-free foods in France. I saw a couple of French translations of Wheat Belly and other “diet books” in a bookstore, but little food for folks who had to be gluten-free due to intolerance or celiac disease. Things may be changing, however. Our hotel in Lyon segregated some gluten-free foods on a counter away from croissants and other items on the breakfast buffet. There were gluten-free sections in La Grande Epicerie de Paris and Galeries Lafayette. Both also had a wide selection of non-glutenous grains such as rice and quinoa. We also saw a restaurant off Rue Montmartre called Noglu, which is entirely gluten-free. There is hope for celiacs in France.
