I managed to have the car searched once when a very cute customs officer asked me “anything to declare?” as they always do when Swiss cars come back into France. I flashed my brightest smile at him and said “no, except for 500g of chick pea flour”.

Luckily, the car was totally clean and empty apart for the 500g of chick pea flour, sitting in the middle of the boot in a little plastic bag.

I felt a bit silly.
