Maple syrup in France

In another one of our rambling conversations, we started to discuss Vermont maple syrup and weather you could find it in France, for "french" toast, waffles, pancakes etc. A little research later and yes, you can purchase syrup in France at Carrefore, and Le Clerc. Not sure that you can buy a mix in France (may have to import that in a suitcase) but I think I can find a recipe and create my own. In further discussion, we wondered what to Belgians eat on their waffles? It is definitely not syrup. Rather, it is whipped cream, strawberries, possibly some melted chocolate, but not syrup, an American/Canadian contribution.
