Interesting to read this, Rosemary. I have heard that a lot shuts down at this time.. I love visiting the music box store, I will make a purchase when we are graced with a grandie! Also at alliance the other day we had a new student, a young lady and an artist who spend a year in Le Blois, so she was very interested to hear about your new photo blog 🙂 x

Fortunately, by the time you get here, everything should be open again! Thanks for passing on the info about Blois Daily Photo.
We have had ‘summer-like’ weather here in Sydney with our winter days reaching 23C! With less than 3 weeks till the official first day of spring I think we are in for a HOT summer too.

Hi Corried and welcome. 23C already – that’s warm for winter. It’s actually my favourite temperature. It’s only 16C here this morning but it will get warmer during the day.
Great article, Rosemary. I’ve never visited Paris in August but can imagine it must be a bit strange with so many locals away on holidays.
I saw some deck chairs just like those ones in Italy recently – a great idea!
Enjoy Blois.

Thanks Carolyn, it’s a bit strange when there are only tourists left. Aren’t the beaches amazing in Italy with all the deck chairs lined up?
[…] She suggests Le Comptoir des Petits Champs, just down the road from me. All I have to do is walk through the Palais Royal gardens, up rue Vivienne and left into Rue des Petits Champs. I’ve never heard of it, despite the fact that I must have walked past it hundreds of times over the past 7 years! I arrive a little ahead of Kathy around 12.30 and am pleased to see that only a couple of tables are taken. That’s because it’s still August and half of Paris is still off at the beach somewhere. […]

Those deckchairs with the canopies are amusing (but practical I guess).
I’d never seen deckchairs like those either.
