Floy, I found that to get more realistic French flavor you really have to buy European or French butter. My brioche recipe calls for unsalted butter and you can really taste the difference since the brioche doesn't have a lot of other flavors (like vanilla or salt) to mask the flavor of the butter. My crepe recipe is the same way, the flavor of the French butter really shines through to make a more authentic tasting crepe.
