Which grocery store? Quick, I'm in France. I can help! You have friends here.

The bacon is likely by the meat counter. There is bacon there. Failing that, there is bacon in most refrigeration sections. However, it may be in a different physical form.

Worst case scenario: you may need to buy little bacon bits and glue them together with cheese.

Actually, that doesn't sound so damn bad.

Failing that, you can enjoy the food of the gods: aligot! Aligot is mashed potatoes infused with garlic and melted cheese. It's amazing. And guess what? The only way it could be made better is with...you got it! Bacon!

Contingency plan if ever such an event were to occur: Noted.

Folks, that came from the FSM, so now we are talking doctrine here. Let us all be warned of the sin of limited-bacon-behavior.

Until now, I had never head of aligot. Now I must seek it out and consume mass quantities of it.

Oh dear, that doesn't sound good. But there is hope! After a quick google of "where is the bacon in France?" (which sounds like it could be the title of an indie pop hit single), this came up:

i’ve heard about loads of expats having a hard time finding bacon in france, which leads to ranting and cursing the living hell out of our francophone home country. i should consider myself lucky because we go to a nearby farm for organic produce, eggs and meats, and amazing bacon. many of you are nowhere near a farm and might not be able to find the same quality bacon BUT! never fear, you CAN and WILL find bacon in paris; i swear. no, it’s not smoked ham or bits and pieces of fat lardons. you just need to ask the butcher for de la BARDE. french people don’t pan fry them and eat them crispy and on their own. they usually wrap bacon around other meats in a terrine or a roast - but it IS bacon, thinly sliced, just like you need them to be for breakfast!

Good luck! My pary are with every redditor who cannot find bcaon.

Stop showing me that! I know it's got to make SOME kind of sense but I've never once been able to translate past the first bit, and my brain melts when I try.

France has its own special stores just for bacon, you tard.

It's been years since I had french in highschool, but googling for "pork butcher's shop french translation" might help.

Well, there may not be bacon, but i know for a fact they have pigs. Grab a knife and get to work !

You need to take a picture of bacon with you the next time you travel. There's no language barrier when you present a picture of some sweet sweet bacon.
