I left the US before the kale era, so didn't know what I was missing. It does show up here sometimes in organic supermarkets, and there is one producer at the Rodez market that grows it and all sort of other greens similar to the ones you mention. They run out fast!
I don't deal with blettes very often, although I like them. It seems they were more prevalent in my early years here, but being a complicated vegetable, they have gone out of style. Sometimes I do see manageable-sized ones at Grand Frais, but they don't seem to have many leaves. So you can't really with with them IMO.
Thanks for mentioning La Soupe au Fromage! You are right, it's more a casserole or a gratin. I remember being very surprised the first time I ate it. Have you tried making it yet?
I haven’t tried it yet! We’re working our way through a lentil and morel soup I made. Strange to think of morels as fall and winter mushrooms here. And they grow in sand here, which is much less common where I’m familiar with them around New York.
I’d also like to amend a bit: I’m seeing Brussel sprouts- a lot. It’s a kind of new car thing where you suddenly notice there are so many on the road like the one you bought.
Can you buy kale, chard, and mustard green seeds in France? Vendor recommendation for organic seeds?
I haven’t seen them much but there must be seed companies that sell them in the eu.
I brought a few packets over from the US, but this is worth a bit of research.

Yes I was going to add in my comment that I see plenty of Brussels sprouts around here.
