Happy Bloggiversary to Moi! (or, Destination: France)
It's that time of year again, and it almost passed me by. I'll blame jet lag - we just got back from two weeks in France, and boy are my arms tired. Yeah, that one never gets old.
So yes, there was blog fodder: I also never tire of the French talent for punny shop names (as I've already shown you). Condrieu, in the Northern Rhone, offered up this gem:
A courant d'air is an air current; courant also means "current," so this is a clever name for a hair salon that's not catering to the blue-haired set.
Condrieu also offered up a zippy wine-tasting machine in a much less cleverly-named shop called La Bouteillerie, but since the thermometer was showing body temperature and the shop was climatis
é, we chose wine-tasting over getting trendy haircuts.
Anyway, I cannot believe I've been doing this for four years. It is, as we say in France, dingue. I am lucky that the branding world keeps providing me with ample subjects for commentary.
