Yesterday I went into Nice to have my hair cut , do a little shopping and have lunch with my friend S. It was a perfect early fall day. I din't take many pics, but I did run into a manifestation...a communist, labor manifestation...lot's of yelling.
You couldn't hear a thing when you went into Galeries Lafayette, the nice department store.
My French was put to the test when I had to return a lipstick as I got the wrong color. I walked up to 3 woman, sales women in the cosmetic area...I gave them my best paragraph on the subject in French. I had their attention...but, I think just to make me struggle, or to hear more they asked me a question. I cautiously launched into another paragraph, just for them, and then they said...oh sorry, we can't help you you must talk to another woman. They didn't snicker so I think I did ok.
They were probably amused by my accent.
