Cream - various types

I think this has been answered before fairly recently, but I can't find a thread, so, can anyone help me regarding cream.

I don't eat cream so haven't bought it in france before - I was looking for some double-cream-type-cream, for use on a pavlova, but what I've bought (because it had a picture of strawberries and cream on the front!) ... seems to be more like sour cream "creme entiere - epaisse".

Can somebody tell me what I need to buy that I can whip up into peaks and put on a pavlova for instance.

Or do you think they'd notice if it was the squirty stuff out of a can? [6]

Solved this problem at last  There is a product available here called either "Chantilly Fixatif" or "Chantilly Fixed" - it is a powder which is whipped into creme entier and gives a very passable whipped cream - and it does not sag like the aerosol product after a few minutes. Find it on baking goods shelf at your local supermarket.
