  3. Nails as in hammer and nail or fingernail? Considering the upheavals of the last 212 years, theirs is a remarkable achievement.

  4. Are we talking nails as hammer and nails or a place for manicures?

  5. This is not the kind of business that I would expect to have longevity of more than two centuries.

  9. ne vendre que des clous permettrait donc de survivre aux differentes epoques et evenements, à Napoleon, a la revolution de 1848 et à 2 guerres mondiales?!.. qui l'eut cru?!

  18. My first reaction is that's not possible! 1744? Good grief. This country didn't exist then!

    I think they must have the knowledge of how to run a "hardware" store pretty well nailed down by now!

  19. Oh wow. Is that all they have sold for over 200 years? ;)

    ReplyDelete
  20. Wow! That store was founded at about the same time my village was!

  21. Since 1799, that's just so cool.

  22. Wait, is that the same shop you told me to take a picture of?

  23. @ T. Becque: could be, it's opposite the 'éclair pâtisserie', I don't really remember!
