It is achieved by word of mouth, showing, touching ...Mathias:3- Now it is not easy with the coronavirus. I am the oldest of the bouquinistes, I have been here for 40 years. I am the only one who opens, it is paradoxical. It's nice out, it's not going to rain and I don't understand why my colleagues won't open. It is true that we are in winter, it is not the best season, and that it is not easy because we do not have tourism and the business has dropped a lot, international tourism.
