There is no point in shopping around the prices are controlled by the state.
Same in Germany, Greece, Austria, Spain, except the Canaries and Switzerland.
That's all the places I have been to recently, Luxemburg is seemingly the cheapest, I don't know about Belgium.

Belgium's much cheaper than UK. This place (Adinkerke) is just over the border and popular with UK trippers.


Turkey's very cheap too but as it's not EU you can only bring back 200.

If they are standard across France, think you'll be looking at €7-8 (£5-6) a pack of 20, didn't notice airport prices.

I think by law you can only smoke Gauloises in Paris.

Not really much point in telling somebody who is going on a day trip to Paris all of the other places where it would be much cheaper to buy fags. Had the question been "where is the cheapest place in Europe to buy cigarettes?" it might have been helpful.

Just for the record:

Denmark - pack of 20 Boston cigs around 3 quid to 3.50

Golden Virginia 25 gram - around 4 to 5 quid per pack

Here are the prices (page in French but the table is fairly self explanatory)

Hope this helps.
