Day in the Life

Saturday morning, I ran some errands (fait des courses) with my host mom, Josette. Are you yawning? Mais, tiens!- these were not your average American errands! After visiting the best butcher's shop in town, we checked out the flowers and the local produce in one of the central squares (les places): seafood, vegetables, fruit, oh my! 

Le marché en plein air: les fruits de mer!

Les poissons!

Les légumes

Les fleurs!

I got a great dog fix, and we witnessed the frightening consequence of someone forgetting to say "Pardon." Oh boy! We also took a stroll to see the various sales (soldes) before returning home. Here's a tour of my room in the apartment:

My window with REAL shutters

Little treasures from Josette's life and her boys' childhood (as well as my French books plus a whole collection of French poems and famous works: Moliere!)

Mon lit! I even get to use a hot water bottle when it's really cold! :)

The shelves are lined with actual perfume

Let in the light!
