Invade around midday and you'll not have any difficulty at all... everyone will be at lunch.
Pies? To be honest, I don't really know but I'm pretty sure I could get one in the local supermarket, of the sort you'd know as a pie... and it'd probably be called a 'pie' too. I'm also pretty sure that somewhere in France they will be a local recipe for a closed meat pie - without googling, I don't know though. The French tend to eat pretty much any living thing in some form or another, so a pie is a cert!
In my experience, a tarte is the closest thing you'd get to a French pie; and that can be fruit or veg. I've seen onion tarts, leek tarts... don't recall any meat ones though.
You've got me wondering now!

Personally, I'm astonished that they got past cassoulet. Once you've invented something that good, what else do you need?
Maybe cassoulet was after the other dishes, but before pie?

Paté en Croute is pretty close to a pork pie, but the French cooks need to be educated in the art of adding gelatine.

It seems to me that the English pie is ... well ... very English!
I've not found anything quite like it in any of the other European countries that I've visited.
Indeed, in Germany they regard the pork pie as being as quintessentially English as we regard Sauerkraut as being quintessentially German!
As it happens, I like pork pie with sauerkraut

This could take a couple of days and we'll have to prepare some real food to take with us.

I am quite ashamed to admit I don't know the answer to the OP.
And whats more I shall certainly NOT be visiting any johnny foreigner lands until someone can provide me with a definite world map of where one can, and just as importantly cannot, obtain proper crusty topped goodness.
Another thought occurs. If I were able to obtain a pie, a fruit pie. Would these foreigners, and I hesitate to ask the question, be able to supply me with custard to pour generously over the pie? Would I have to settle for cream?
If there truely is a sad lack of pies, could one obtain a spotted dick in foreign parts?

In certain foreign ports, such as Marseilles, it's practically guaranteed.Piemaster said:
