[QUOTE="sonnetpete, post: 1056658, member: 310216"] The 'High Street Death' also happens in France. Larger towns (10,000+ pop) have their small commercial areas just outside with larger supermarkets and electrical shops etc. Our village hasn't had a boulangerie for over 20 years. The nearest village south of us has had two or three boulangers in the last five years or so and the shop currently stands empty. The larger village near to us, used to have three boulangeries but now has two (which goes down to one when the other shop has it's day off). If France struggles to get customers for bread it's not a good sign. The larger village has over 50% of it's shops standing empty. there isn't a maison de la presse, a cafe (as opposed to a bar), or a hardware store. Though we are used to getting in the car to access what we need, it isn't a good outlook for people who live in the village. [/QUOTE]
