Stories Collected While Living in France
Remember how I wanted to change the window in Cassis, and I was quoted 1500 Euros. Well I went hunting around salvage yards, and found one!!!! (Yes that many exclamation marks!) As the window in the fisherman's house is not a standard size I didn't expect to be lucky, but I was. An 1800s wooden window, rounded top, interior shutters and original hardware for 60 Euros.
Well, the old new window is in place. Rene sent me the photos with a note:
Installed.

Beautiful. That Rene is a peach. You need to travel around France restoring old houses with Yann and Rene.
Amazing find!!! After years of reading your blog, I must say that I am not surprised. You are a genius in finding puzzle pieces to make a space perfection. Fabulous installation, Rene.
It was there waiting for you……
Yay! One more thing out of the way!!
So beautiful…..I love windows that are curved at the top with rippled glass.
