So in France, we ventured across the Pyrenees Mountains via Andorra into Spain, the towns are just so nice. So sexy, so French. The pavements in front of the shops are wide. The shop fronts are so old so in keeping with the more relaxed atmosphere. The restaurants or cafes (accents) not sure how to put in UK keyboard. They are so much nicer than an old ham sandwich sitting behind a counter. The service is so French as well. Nothing is hurried, which if you are in a rush is not good, but being on holiday it suits the mood, goes with the ambiance. You are formally greeted in every restaurant and shop you go into. Madam.&Monsuir. Yes a misspelt English translation but they run the greeting in together. Somehow you feel it is meant. Rather than in shops over in USA where given the, "have a nice day" with every purchase whether it is a super sized meal upwards which seems somewhat insincere. Also the service is not just in restraints also normal shops, getting clothes, a bit of aftershave or other half getting making up / perfume. The same greeting is used. You can be fussy and indecisive in choosing what you want and you don’t feel the member of staff is brassed off. The lifestyle is good.
