A Vendre (for sale)

[Ian]

A sadly all too common site. This was once, no doubt, a busy and prosperous bakery that may have existed for many decades.

Very true Ian,Town centres are dying off at a rapid rate unfortunately. As you say shops that have been in families for generations are going under. Do you have a colour image, just curious how it looks.

Maybe a new venture Ian?

[Ian]

Hahaha - I don't think so!

Black and white much better Ian, thanks for posting the colour image.

Just as Tesco obliterates the High Street here, so does Carrefour and the likes in France.
I remember a group of us staying and cycling in Brittany (Pleyben) in 1996.
My pleasure was to get up first and walk about a kilometre to the Boulangerie/Patisserie for croissants and bread.
On the Sunday I went mad and bought a superb pear and cream gateau as well Was told it was a ridiculous buy but funny there wasn't a scrap left.
Just looked it up on Google maps and its still there!

That’s one hell of a gateau to last 26 years 😜😜😜😜

The gateau lasted less than 5 minutes!
