Shopping

On my way from the school to hotel, I walked through the unknown west part of the old town, looking for a bookshop. I want to make a hike on Saturday and I was looking for a topographic map of the St-Victoire mountain. Where else one could find a map than a large bookshop.

Found a second-hand bookshop, but it had no maps. So I walked to the tourist office which had three maps of the mountain; I explained that I wanted the topographic one.

Then went to a nearby shopping centre, to see the photo store I had noticed on Wednesday. No, it did not have a battery charger for my camera. The prices for some large lenses made me rub my eyes, because they by far exceeded those in a photo boutique I had thought was the most expensive photo shop in the universe. And this was just an ordinary media department store, not a specialised one. Photography is expensive in France, I conclude.

Also had a stroll in the bookstore in the same large store, even in the comics' section.
