Beer in France

[Pistachio Disguisey]

I'll be in France next week. I'm interested in finding some top notch beer that I'm unlikely to encounter back in the states. Consequently:

1. Does anyone know of any interesting french beers that aren't generally exported?

2. Is there likely to be a greater availability of top notch belgian and/or Belgian beers than there would be in the US.

3. Does anyone know of any shops that might be a good place to look for either of the above types of beer?

Na zdravi!

In answer to your second question, I doubt it. The only difference is you will be able to find some good Belgian beers in ordinary grocery stores. Another nice thing I remember is the price: about one euro for a bottle of Chimay Bleu in Paris. I pay about four times that in Boston.
