La boucherie-charcuterie de la rue des deux portes
The butcher in rue des deux portes (two gates street). Right next door, you might recognise La Finca, the tea shop. I had showed you the sign here! Oh and see that wine barrel? The green shop is this one.
Juste à côté, vous reconnaîtrez peut-être la Finca, le magasin de thé dont je vous montrais l'enseigne ici. Ah et vous voyez la barrique ? Le magasin vert, c'est celui-ci.
So many of our cities lack this kind of shopping area ... the downtown areas are deserted (esp. in the evenings and weekends) and shopping is scattered in a variety of strip malls all over the place.
Rue des deux portes looks like a wonderful place to visit and shop and have a cup of tea!
France has often struck me as unwelcoming to vegetarians. I remember years ago checking into a Disneyland Paris hotel with the children. Looking for a restaurant, I told the clerk Ma fille ne mange pas de viande. Her curt reply was simply quel dommage.
Thanks for your comments on my Costa Rica photos this week. I had to pay for the time off with a very long work week and got few comments written.
Thank you for visiting and leaving a thought! Sorry about the moderation, a bit tired of spam at the moment!

I agree with everyone. A lovely street with different treats mere steps away from the last. A lovely picture.
