Today's spot: an inviting antique shop on Place de l'Hôtel de Ville in Loches, right in the lively heart of the old town.
The pale stone facade, with its old wooden door, green shutters, and faded purple awning reading "Art & Antiques", spills its treasures onto the cobblestones: a vintage dresser, a red child's chair, a teddy bear family, porcelain dolls, brass lamps, and potted flowers adding soft color. The display is artfully chaotic in the best way, inviting you to linger, peer inside the open windows, and imagine the stories behind each piece. Above, a wrought-iron balcony with trailing greenery and a few French flags fluttering in the breeze completes the scene.
Place de l'Hôtel de Ville is Loches' central square surrounded by shops, cafés, restaurants and the town hall itself, it's a perfect spot to sit with a coffee and watch the town go by before heading up to the château or the Collégiale Saint-Ours. This particular boutique captures the town's quiet, unpretentious charm, where everyday life mixes with history and a delightful window display can stop you in your tracks.
Taken in Touraine: small details like this remind us the Loire's beauty often hides in plain sight, right in the heart of the village.
