What present to give a french couple?

My wife and I have been invited to a French couples home for a meal this Easter.
I would presume flowers would be acceptable as a gift for the lady of the house.
Has anyone any ideas as to what would be suitable for the gentleman?
I would like to take something English.
A mature Scottish malt comes to mind, but I dont know if he drinks Scotch?
Any other gift ideas for either partner please?

I always take flowers or some chocolates from a chocolatier. And we take at least one decent bottle of wine and if it is a special meal then some Champagne too.

Chivas Regal sells very well in France, so I can only say that many people must like it if you are wanting to take whisky. And in that case, I would take something like that instead of the champers.

Last year was invited to dine with French friends . Arrived clutching bottle of decent wine and a bunch of home grown radishes (no flowers in the garden). The radishes were immediately served with the aperitifs and of course provided a conversation topic for some time!!

Not that this will help much as Easter is too early for outdoor radishes but it shows that "different" sometimes works.
