Looking for paint

I went into Montpellier today on the tram to buy a sample pot of paint.

It's really, really hot here at the moment. Montpellier's central Place de la Comédie was almost empty, everybody must have been at the beach.

The shop I was looking for is just past the opera house,


tucked away in the old part of the city.

I love these narrow, winding streets and the shade.
I love these paved pedestrian areas, chic boutiques and cafés.

Of course, the shop was closed for a summer break. No paint and no finished chest of drawers, dommage...
