Search for play areas and Clearance sale.

Happy Friday Friends!
Only one week left before the start of summer school holidays. I went to the tourism office to find out about children entertainment schedules in City of Tours during school holidays. I also wanted to look for children entertainment places that are a bit far from City Centre. The holidays will be two months long. I need some activities to keep us busy in days when we feel like being outdoors. I’m anticipating a lot of those days.
I need places that can be reached by public transport. Looking for car park can be a nightmare and a lot expensive. I took a tram in my quest. I saw a market place at Befroi tram station and jumped out. I walked around the area. There is not much to do in the area but I found a small park close to the market. It is guaranteed that City Centre will be packed with both tourists and locals. This park will be perfect when we want to escape the chaos in the City. I immediately put it on my list.
I could have discovered more places but half way on my journey I saw huge signs SOLDES – Sales/ Clearance Sale. And BOOM goes my plans. Like my plans disappeared right before my very own eyes ha! I like clearance sales. I started my shopping opposite Vaucanson tram station in a decor shop. Unfortunatley the doors were slamed on my face. Why? It was 12h00. This is France. The nation sit down for lunch, a good 2hours lunch. That’s it, back in 2hours. I saw good things through the windows. I will surely come back.
I went back to where my heart was SOLDES at KIABI. Prices were slashed down. This time I bought babygros , shorts and some t-shirts for boys. Seems like blues were cuter than pinks this time. I have mentioned many times that I have total of 7 nephews and nieces. So I can buy any clothes between sizes of 6months to 18years and they will fit someone.
I had fun picking boys clothes. That polka dot sleeping bag, I just could not resist. It was too cute but it was on girls section and I wanted it to be on boys section. Obviously I bought it and hoped the colour is neutral enough to satisfy both genders. Give me a baby to hold please!
When clothing stores do promotions, they have tendency to add clothes with very low quality materials. It took me longer than planned to choose good ones. By the time I finished it was too late to continue with a search for children play areas. Hope to finish my journey before the start of school holidays.
À bientôt!
Take care,
