A few weeks ago we went for the first time to a restaurant in Pleumartin.
Everything in there is for sale, including the china, tables and chairs.
A friend tells how she went for lunch and came away with a wardrobe.
It's like eating in an indoor brocante.
I couldn't resist the little dish which is the perfect size for peanuts or nibbles.
I picked it up and put it on our table.
Then I spotted the candlestick which was in the same colours.
The prices were very reasonable.
While I was away from the table browsing the exterior, which is also full of brocante, the little pot that matches the dish appeared mysteriously on our table.
Nobody noticed who put it there but it was probably the owner.
10/10 for salesmanship!
I'm just reading through the French Canadian Three Pines detective series, where everything in the bistro has a price tag on it. I have never seen such a thing here in the UK. Is it a Gallic custom?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure….it’s the only one I know of around here (chez nous).

DeleteThey are beautiful, and three sit well together, I wish we had places like that here in UK
ReplyDeleteIf I hear of one I will visit and post about it!
DeleteYes, I thought at once of the bistro in the village of The Three Pines!
ReplyDeleteI have never watched The Three Pines.
DeleteWhat pretty items - they seem to capture the aesthetic of both the modern and historic.
ReplyDeleteWhat charming pieces!
