you can purchase in the airport after security and carry it on IF you have a direct flight. If you have to change planes you will have to pack it in checked luggage for the second portion of your trip.

Poulet d'Orleans. right on the top of the hill as you leave Orleans going towards Orient. You sit and eat on the front porch of the fmaily home and the food is local and very good.

This is the best explanation I found for it. It is from Phillippe, owner of Tabba Khady Restaurant in Oyster Pond. I am quoting him.. thanks Phillippe. the French side is France and under French Law.
