19th & 20th Century shop fronts


The town of Rchelieu, being a sleepy place, has still retained several old shop fronts.  This paticular one, fastidiously maintained,  was shuttered up for the New Year 2008 when we took a snap of their meticulous restoration and pretty floral stencilling.  It is nice the way the traditional shutters fold back into the façade once they are re-opened.
More or less opposite is la boucherie chevaline or horse-meat shop with its extraordinary façade from the '1950s.
