What are the best French brands for CBD flower ?
- Le chanvrier français – Great Overall
- Bleu candide – Best French CBD flowers Made in France
- La ferme du CBD – Best prices
Le Chanvrier Français – Great overall
It’s a safe pick. Its one of the biggest, if not the biggest, CBD flower distributor in France. They have over 50 stores in France, distributing hemp flowers from Spain, Switzerland, Italy and France. If you want a large choice of strain with decent prices, it’s a very good overall brand.
The main difficulty is that their website isn’t in English and most likely, they won’t speak English in their stores.
Bleu Candide – French CBD flower excellence
Because we believe in terroir, a sort of soil’s spirit that gives wines their distinct tastes, we place quality over strains. For this reason, we distribute only one strain at a time every 6 weeks. We work with over 15 french hemp farmers – true artisans of CBD flowers – to find the best outdoor CBD flowers made in France.
Once we identify a harvest that we love, we curate and deliver our precious CBD buds in glass jars. Discrete, French, fresh, without plastic, we provide customer service in English on Instagram, e-mail or by phone on request.
A downside with Bleu Candide is that we have yet to have reviews online and have yet to be cited as having the best CBD flowers on reddit.
La ferme du CBD – best prices
La ferme du CBD is another well-known brand in France. They’ve got a decent selection of flowers and CBD products. However, their advantage is on price. They often have promotions and flash sales.
That being said, it may be difficult to know exactly where and how these flowers are produced. Analysis certificates don’t seem to be online.

What’s the difference between indoor, greenhouse and outdoor CBD flowers ?
Before we look at CBD flower strains, its important to consider “types”. Often, we use “types” of CBD to refer to their method of cultivation, which is “indoor”, “greenhouse” and “outdoor”.
Indoor : These flowers are grown with artificial lights, which requires the use of fertilizer. It is the most industrial way of cultivating hemp flowers for their cannabinoids. In effect, it originates from THC flowers cultivation, where the goal is maximizing psychotropic effects.
Greenhouse : It’s a compromise between “indoor” and “outdoor”. Each flower benefits from a warm and humid micro-climate with sunlight and fertilizers.
Outdoor : plants are grown in open ground during from may to September. Hemp grows naturally in most soils.
Which one should you choose ? We have a preference for natural and organic, which means outdoors. Not only does hemp naturally improve soils, but it also requires very few resources. Its roots can go as deep as 2 meters (6 ft) in the ground.
For example, an artisan that we work with in Auvergne doesn’t water or fertilize his production. He focuses solely on soil work and hoeing weeds (no pun intended!).
Indoors CBD flowers don’t necessarily make sense with a 0.3% THC legislation. It’s an industrial mentality applied to flowers that can have their own personality and taste. It would make sense for medical cannabis, where the goal is in fact to have high concentrations of cannabinoids.
What are the best strains to try in Europe ?
Today, the difference between indica and sativa doesn’t exist. Every strain you may find is a hybrid. Moreover, the initial claim that there are differences between indica and sativa was proven to be false.
Hence, THC is THC, CBD is CBD and a molecule is a molecule ! It also means that despite what you may read online, there isn’t a best CBD flower for backpain or to laugh more. It all depends on individual reactions, context and timing !
Authorised strains in France depend on an approved catalogue by the EU. Hybrids are made with these and here is our ranking for the best CBD flowers in 2022 :
- Gelato – Colourful with small buds.
- Strawberry – Sweet & tasty with beautiful heads.
- Lemon Skunk – because everyone loves lemon !
- Amnesia – a tad overrated but an all-time classic.
- Nemesis – Intense taste, earthy flavors & a cool name !
Last tips to know before purchasing CBD flower in France
There are no such things as 30% CBD flowers. Cannabinoids concentration may vary from one plant to another but it is impossible to have a 30% CBD with 0.3% THC flower. Most likely, it’s not possible at all to have a 30% CBD flower.
If a shop sells 30% CBD flower, it’s not true. They may argue that it’s all cannabinoids added, but its not 30% CBD.
CBD flowers are legal in France. However, we advise you do not use them in public places. It is common courtesy and it holds a controversial place in the eyes of the government. Be wary of what you choose to do with your CBD buds.
It is especially controversial because the legality of CBD flowers depends on Europe, more specifically, the CJUE.
What’s next ?
In conclusion, finding a good product in France isn’t too hard if you look at our list of the best CBD flower companies. The next step is to determine what type you want, then the strain. Strains quality varies from one harvest to the other.
