More Christmas shopping today. It's rare that shops are open on a Sunday in France, but the 3 weekends in the run up to Christmas are the exception (and twice a year when shops have their sales, or shops around tourist areas, but then it all get a bit complicated!)

Anyways, we dropped by a shop called Merci, which opened up earlier this year, not too far from us. A very stylish concept store but with an environmentally conscious ethos (isn't everything these days?)

This article explains the story behind it and is worth a read.
