The most effective thing you can do to protest is to avoid travel to France. Americans spend over $5 billion tourist dollars in France annually. If you're planning to visit France, cancel your trip and go somewhere else!
The following is a list of French products you'll want to avoid. You don't need to throw away what you have, simply choose a competing American (or British, Australian or Spanish!) product when it's time to purchase again.
