A Small French Town

Saturday, October 6, 2012


No trip to France is complete without visiting one or more
small French towns.
All towns have their own personalities; no two are alike.


Carsac, France, six hours from Paris, is in the Dordogne region of France.

While visiting there last year, we were delighted to find that Carsac has all of these shops within two blocks on its main street.

  • Une épicerie (small grocery store) 
  • la boucherie (butcher shop) 
  • la boulangerie (bakery) 
  • la pharmacie (pharmacy) 
  • la poste (post office)

We felt very French each day as we made our purchases.  
Buying just what we needed for the day...
No big impersonal supermarkets...
"Bonjour, madame. Bonjour, monsieur."
Greeting the shopkeepers with smiling faces...



Love the curved roofline on la poste...
