Nimes: Books, Books, Books, and More Books!

Can you believe all these bookstores are a 5-7 minute walk from my apartment? 





I can also purchase cards, stationary, bookmarks, and more! 











             


The children’s bookstores are adorable!







I still need to check out this store . I think it has old rare books. 

Living above a bookstore would be wonderful!


How many times a week do you think this lady visits this place? It is a good thing I can’t read French. I have to admit, the urge to buy a book has been strong. I just love that the love of reading is found here. Thinking of all my book club ladies and wishing we could walk through these stores together. Just think of the treasures we could find! 💝

A Special Field Trip

Our good fortune continued when we got to visit Cécile’s cousin’s boulangerie. We met Matthieu in 2015 when he started his apprenticeship as a baker. We were happy to learn that he recently opened his own boulangerie. Unfortunately the day we went to visit his bakery, he was not there. His grandfather, a retired baker, was helping him with the shop. He allowed us to see where the delicious bread and pastries are created.  Waking up at 2 AM to prepare bread is what it takes to meet the needs of the French people. As Cécile says, “We need our fresh bread, mommy.” That is why boulangeries are open on Christmas Day and every day of the year. I know the people in the community are very pleased that they now have a boulangerie and patisserie that provides them with scrumptious breads and pastries!

Sweet and Savory Crêpes

We are enjoying the crêpes in France. Cécile and Simon made savory crêpes for us and they also took us to a Crêperie. Just in case you missed the news, I made crêpes all by myself!  There also is a crêpes place less than 5 minutes from our apartment. It is fascinating to watch them make the crêpes. They make it look so easy to evenly spread the batter with their special crêpe cooking tool. Flipping the large, thin crêpe without it breaking takes talent.   Crêpe, crêpe, crêpe! The word is just fun to say! Try it.  Savory crêpes are just as good as sweet ones.  I think I did a pretty good job making crêpes. I will definitely practice.  Can you see the difference?
