Relaxed French business hours (Monpazier/FR)

Relaxed French business hours (Monpazier/France) - The little shops in Monpazier tend have a nice way of doing business, just like French shops elsewhere in France. Normal opening and closing hours but in a nice relaxed way of behavoir to customers. Be polite, and if you take the time to speak to them you'll have a very nice and friendly conversation. There's no rush, even when the shop owner has a shop who sells various types of clocks, showing time.

Monpazier

Monpazier - a 13th-century bastide town, founded in 1285 and built by King Edward I of England for trade, commerce and justice. It almost didn't change in 800 years, a medieval town square lined with an arched arcade, a 16th-century covered market, three of the original six rampared city gates and many other traces of medieval history. This picturesque small village is one of the "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France" villages, said to be one of the most atractive in southwest France.
