There is a little something to that, because France was the source of most
enameled cast iron cookware imported into the USA at one time. But is was
also made in other countries such as Belgium, Holland, Sweden, Germany, and
Switzerland. For that matter, it was also made in the USA by Prizerware,
Griswold, and Vollrath at one time.
