French – La boulangerie English – The bakery
Lorsque je suis entré dans la boulangerie pour acheter des croissants bien chauds, le boulanger m’a accueilli avec son sourire habituel.   Nous le connaissons depuis des années, et avant lui, son père. D’après ce que son père nous a dit, ils sont tous boulangers de père en fils depuis deux siècles! La clé de leur succès c’est, j’en suis persuadé, cette attitude joviale et sincère avec laquelle ils vous accueillent. When I entered the bakery to buy some warm croissants, the baker greeted me with his usual smile.   We have known him for years, and before him, his father. From what his father told us, they have all been bakers from father to son for two centuries! The key to their success is, I’m sure, this jovial and sincere attitude with which they welcome you.
