14 French Shops: Travail in progress





 










I love 'em, those French and their cheeky shops. The chocolatier Joël Durand has a shop that just reeks of class and, er, chocolate; you'd think he was part of a huge chain with all his specially printed boxes and tissue paper.

There's a universe of difference in attitude between us when it comes to service; don't ask me why, it's a bit more of a vocation with them. I'd feel quite happy going to work at the Folie Du Pain... How couldn't anyone? What a beautiful place. Full of attitude and all of it friendly.

So there's now a few more, and still I have to paint a few more. I'm making up sauces – very French – for the background colours, so I can slop them on nice and thick.

    I really really like these and having just read your most recent blog about appropriation and copyright, I'm concerned you may not appreciate my pinning these shop images to a board on my Pinterest page, although your name is on them and the link is back to this blog page. If you don't approve, please say so and I'll take the down immediately.
