Not too many colours, but this is how a village looks like when 'les grandes surfaces' have taken over the retail business.

Missing in economic action. After 135 years the famous bookshop Gibert Jeune had to close its doors. Or perhaps saved by the Ville de Paris: '...Des six librairies parisiennes, devraient cependant survivre deux établissements : la Ville de Paris a racheté le magasin ancré au 27 quai Saint-Michel. Comme l'a déclaré à nos confrères du Monde l'adjointe à la maire chargée des finances, "notre objectif est le maintien d'un commerce culturel, et nous souhaitons garder une librairie Gibert à cet endroit. I always had a look there, not for the original versions of English literature, only French translations available......

The shop front with a tourist leaving this librairie empty handed. Where exactly in Paris? A stone's throw away from the Seine, in Quartier Latin, 5e Arrondissement.
