Exotic fleurs? Is exotic a French word? It sounds like when I was trying to teach my daughter French the other day and she was just sticking English words in.
ReplyDeleteNo it isn't - the French word is exotique and should read "Fleurs Exotiques" but the French love pinching English words and using them like this .. as well as all those words in everyday language such as week-end. L'Acadamie Français try to stop such Anglicising of the language but they are possibly fighting a losing battle!
DeleteGorgeous colours! What did you buy?
ReplyDeleteI resisted but only because I had already bought a rather nice book on Normandy at the market a few moments earlier.
DeleteThat's a lovely looking shop!
ReplyDeleteIt's one of 3 equally nice flower shops in Condé-sur-Noireau, our nearest town.
DeleteWow, look all the green, love flowers!! x
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely isn't it.
DeleteWe're on the same wavelength today Rosie...flowers...spring!
ReplyDeleteSo I saw - although very different pictures!
Deletewhat a lovely shop x
ReplyDeleteOne of 3 in our local town - and all lovely!
DeleteThat looks so inviting. I would definitely be going in x
ReplyDeleteGiving flowers in very big in France so most towns have at least one and often more flower sellers and their displays are always so good.
DeleteThat looks a fantastic shop x
ReplyDeleteI love French flower shops.
DeleteHow very pretty.
ReplyDeleteFrench flower shops always are!
DeleteAah, the green! And I love the use of the word 'exotic'. You could imagine a shop named exactly this, back here in Britain!
ReplyDeleteOr I wonder of there is one called Exotique Flowers?!
DeleteWhat a pretty shop, I'd love some fleurs from there :)
ReplyDeleteThere's something about greenery and plants that just makes you unfold after winter, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteI am a big fan of green, especially as an end to winter.
DeleteHow lovely!

Merci :)
DeleteWhat a magical shop #silentsunday
ReplyDeleteIndependent French flower shops are always so beautiful and there are 3 in our local town.
DeleteBrilliant! I love that the French are stealing words from the Brits. Looks like a great shop though :)
ReplyDeleteL'Acadamie Français hates the French doing it but I think they are fighting a losing battle. And we English speakers love using French names - Pret a manger etc
DeleteLovely, colourful shot. :) xx
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just!
