I love things that are vintage. I enjoyed the conversation and learning from you and Annie. The shop looks like it has some beautiful items. Thank you so much for sharing.😊

[@francewithvero]

Avec plaisir Debra.

[@uncoupdefoudre1276]

Merci, Véro, c'était très impressionnant de voir tout ça. Elle doit avoir de nombreux talents pour restaurer toute cette diversité d'objets, peu importe le travail pour les trouver. Vraiment admirable !

[@francewithvero]

Tu as raison Justin. Annie a énormément de talent!

[@janetmcdonald401]

What a lovely conversation! Annie's shop is beautiful and I can see many treasures I would love to purchase. Merci, Vero, for another great video interview!

[@francewithvero]

Thank you for the wonderful feedback Janet. I have a feeling many members of the France with Vero community will be visiting "le Bazar de Cosette" on their next trip to Tours. A bientôt!

Another great video interview! Love learning about how French people work and live.

J'ai trouvé cette rencontre avec cet entrepreneur très intéressante, car j'apprécie énormément les boutiques comme celle-ci! Habituellement, j'aime ces rencontres avec des entrepreneurs car elles me permettent d'en apprendre davantage sur la ville de Tours. De plus, je suis toujours en train de me familiariser avec de nouveaux mots ou de nouvelles expressions en français. Merci, Véro.

[@francewithvero]

Eh bien on dirait que tu ne vois que des avantages à ce nouveau format Debbie. J'en suis ravie. Merci d'avoir pris le temps d'envoyer un retour.

[@agiggles6532]

Thank you for the great interview and for letting us meet Anne and her treasure shop! It would definitely be worth the time to stop and search for something special to bring home. I will certainly be looking for Le Bazar de Cosette when I visit Tour. Merci beaucoup!

[@francewithvero]

You won't regret visiting Annie's shop (and Annie.) That's a promise!

[@charleswaidler6408]

Merci Véro. C'était une vidéo merveilleuse. Nous sommes allés à la boutique d'Annie à plusieurs reprises et ses articles et son magasin sont vraiment géniaux. Annie est très gentille et fait de son mieux pour répondre aux questions et aider à trouver un objet particulier. Nous la reverrons bientôt !

[@francewithvero]

Bonjour Charles. Oui, je sais que vous êtes de bons clients chez Annie. Vous avez bon goût ;-)

[@brucefielder9312]

What a charming interview. Annie's shop is definitely one I'd explore if I were in Tours. I hope she does decide to ship items internationally as well. Thanks for posting this video story.
