Paris now has its first shop dedicated entirely to butter, and it just opened in the 15th arrondissement.
The shop is called Le Butter Shop, and it was opened by Erwan Leo, who already ran a wine tasting business in the same neighborhood. Instead of stocking the one French butter brand most people have heard of, he deliberately chose smaller, harder to find producers, including Échiré, Beillevaire, Beurre Dupont, and Isigny Sainte-Mère. Around 30 varieties are on offer, from classic salted butter to seaweed, black truffle, and yuzu.
Visitors are invited to taste the butter on its own before buying, the same way you would taste wine or cheese. It sounds unusual, but the shop treats butter like a genuine gourmet product rather than something you just grab at the store.
The shop also solves the one problem every visitor worries about: getting the butter home in one piece. Le Butter Shop vacuum-seals every purchase for the trip, and insulated cooler bags are available for longer travel. Since butter counts as a liquid for airport security, it needs to go in checked luggage rather than a carry-on, but packed properly, it holds up fine for the flight home.
The Crown Prosecution Service has decided to bring additional charges against brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate. Following their arrest, prosecutors will seek extradition in relation to the original charges and the further charges we have authorised. Read: https://t.co/V83QcbVDOU
Dear @instagram I am locked out of my account for a possible hack. The only recovery option is giving me is a text from a number I no longer have. No selfie, no email. Is there a way you can help me. I have tried it all.
Le 14 juillet, la Patrouille de France a ouvert le défilé aérien devant les Champs-Élysées, suivie par une centaine d'aéronefs venus de toute l'Europe.
Un moment fort du réveil stratégique de l'Europe, célébré ensemble. 🇫🇷 🇪🇺✈️
Sam Neill passed today and this might be the most Sam thing ever.
He named his farm animals after celebs; a goat called Graham Norton, Helena Bonham Carter as the horned cow, and zero chance of eating Meryl Streep.
Warm, witty, completely himself. Legend forever. 🦖
What’s one Sam Neill moment you’ll never forget?
Nicole Kidman remembered Sam Neill as “one of the greats” and “a joy to be around” after the celebrated actor died at the age of 78 https://t.co/8BKoe1uHs2
Steven Spielberg has written a tribute about the late Sam Neill after his tragic passing.
“I owe a debt of gratitude to Roger Donaldson, Gilliam Armstrong, Graham Baker and Phillip Noyce for casting Sam Neill in the roles in which he was so brilliant that brought him to my attention and led to his playing Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park.
Sam was exceptionally collaborative. It was a stretch for him to play a character who acted as though children were messy and smelly because this was the opposite of the loving father he was to his children.
I adored making all the Jurassic movies with him. Along with Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum, we will always have our Jurassic family and Sam will never be forgotten by us or his many millions of fans around the world.”
