Stripes Basque Style at Bon Marché

 

Yesterday I was wandering a bit 

And stepped into a grand promotion 



 Even piment 🌶️ perfume!

FYI, all about the piment 

And Summer 

Stripes 

The floors are striped!

Red and green are the dominant theme colors,

Rouge et vert
is a big favorite of mine…

And complimentary colors on the color wheel, across from each other. Hello Christmas 🎄 

Even fire hydrants match perfectly 

Plus they are Basque colors and the Basque flag.

Not just Basque products 

But cherries 🍒 and strawberries 🍓 from Saint Tropez.

The salesgirl was telling me Saint Tropez is just a train 🚊 ride or bus 🚌 from Toulon and I should go. 

Yes, Please 🙏 She said May is a good time too…😀

More goodies to drool over…I saw those plates once at a VIDE GRENIER near me. I picked one up, put it down and then it was snatched up and gone fast!

Cute non? RED CHECKS are so Frenchie..

Les Striped beach 🏖️ chairs bien sur.

For the kiddies but I would LOVE one ❤️ Wouldn’t you?

It’s on through August.

Out in the street…

I passed by Le Bac À Glaces and thought I would try their yogurt 🍦 ice cream.. 😛 Terrible after Versailles’ Greek Yogurt. I threw it away…more like sherbert!

Even the Metro 
                          Bonne  ❤️ 🌶️ Mardi
                                   Was full of Red and Green!

    I love what you did with these Basque colors and stripes. Love the swatch on the top of the post, from 10/2017? (a halcyon year for me .. sigh). Are you doing anything with this that will be on Etsy? 😻

    Oooh…Bon Marché is my happy place! Piment d’espelette is reason enough to go visit (those wee jars of the spice are easy to toss in your suitcase to take home), but all of the other goods on offer are irresistible! Love the striped espadrilles, the green gingham shirt, the red gingham bag/or straw with peppers! All of it!🌶️ ❤️🌶️❤️🌶️
