we pulled into Touron this afternoon so Joy and I went for a long walk. Could not believe my eyes when I spied a local sporting goods shop. Went in and noticed he had a rack full of shotguns. A few semi autos but mostly over unders (no side by sides). They were 'Chapuis' O/U's. Looked nice w/much engraving and selling for 2,500 - 3,000 euros. Don't know Chapuis from adam. The shop keeper didn't know a word of English so I did my best to communicate with my high school and college French. Did not want me to take any pictures. Nice shop, small but the kind of shop you could poke around in not buy anything but still have a good time. We are due to pull into Lyon this evening and will poke around then. We did visit a chocolate store where they had every imaginable type of chocolate available for sampling. My blood sugar bolted from the store! Bon soir mon amis!
