I like the cheapest French mustard: Amora. At least it’s the closest I’ve found to the typical Paris bistro. Recently not finding it in the US, so when someone travels to France, that is all is ask! Currently own 8 jars, 
This Lion’s Dijon was really great, and their prices on regular Edmond Fallot is under $4.
I usually buy 3 jars and something I’ve never tried before. Wish I got a few more of these. Don’t let the “extra strong” deter you, it’s nothing like the sinus clearing mustard at Chinese restaurants. Not much different than heat-wise than regular Edmond dijon.
Just came from the Maille store on Place de la Concord.
Black truffle mustard much less truffley than in Sept 22. And price seems about 65% higher (now 74 euros for the biggest size, vs 45 iirc).
White truffle was on sale 50% off. Now was cheaper by a bit than black.
I normally prefer the black, but it was very close this time. Neither particularly truffly but still so much better than not fresh.
Also forgot about the two week limit without refrigerator , not home for three weeks. So had them empty the minibar to store it. (And will have to do do at 4-5 more hotels).
No more Chablis fresh either, just Chardonnay. Instead fresh honey mustard and whiskey/smoked pepper mustard, neither of wish I cared for. 3 big crocks and one medium is my take home- black truffle, white truffle, Chardonnay and a small of ancienne ; also on sale at 50% off).
Memo to self, make Paris last stop next time.
