Mon chat pitre

When we met a former BBC colleague in Aix recently he told us about a bookshop which had cats roaming around it.

It is called Mon Chat Pitre. So we thought we should visit it.

Regarde là dans la vitrine

There were cats everywhere- both real ones and cat-branded products.

There were eight cats in total. They all seemed very happy with their life among the books.

Some pedigree ones
Cath bought Iris a book about a little big cat

I had to look up the word pitre which means foolish but, it dawned on me afterwards, there is some French word play going on here.

Le chat pitre = le chapitre. The chapter.

Very clever. Chat-peau!

À bientôt.
