There was snow at La Turbie, Nathalie. A fierce hailstorm at Valbonne which was apparently travelling slowly towards Monaco - where I was headed at the time I heard this on the news. Anyway it didn't arrive and yesterday turned out to be fabulous BUT this morning we have a really cold wind - a strong wind - but of course, as always, glorious sunshine as the clouds have been pushed away. So snap on the biting cold mistral and bright blue skies. Bises. x
Quintessential French! I was devastated when I found my boulangerie at the foot of the Rue Longue had been turned into a snack shop. My back-up bakery was gone as well. So sad for the old end of Menton.
Rick, well spotted. They are strange, aren't they?!
Karen, yes I agree. Now the nearest, I suppose would be the market (where there are several boulangeries) or walking a little further to the shop in the next square.
Baguettes. Vive la France...
Oh, so good...the baguette AND the photo, especially the bw one.
ReplyDeleteWhen I lived in France, you didn't get a bag; just a piece of paper.
Bibi, if you buy just one, you get a piece of paper wrapped around the middle, but it seems if you buy several, you get a bag!
ReplyDeleteAny snow last night, Jilly?
ReplyDeleteApparently there was some in the Var?
Nothing here, just a biting cold mistral and bright blue skies.

Elle est trop gentille de m'amener les baguettes pour le petit déjeuner
