Last week I shared a link<\/a> to an article about the new gite<\/strong> (guest house)<\/em> that my stepdaughter and husband opened at their nursery. If you happened to click through to see the details, then you might have encountered un message pop-up<\/strong> (a pop-up message<\/em>) explaining the sites use of les cookies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

When is a cookie not a delicious baked good?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just like in English, cookies aren\u2019t just for eating. Well, actually, cookies in French are never for eating!<\/p>\n

Cookies are an internet tracking tool that many sites use to keep track of their visitors\u2019 activities on their site (and elsewhere on the web). Like many sites, actu.fr<\/em><\/strong> uses les cookies <\/strong>to \u201cpersonnaliser les contenus et les publicit\u00e9s\u201d<\/b> (personalize (site) content and ads<\/em>).<\/p>\n

And while this site says that \u00ab\u00a0Le respect de votre vie priv\u00e9e est notre priorit\u00e9<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb (Respect for your privacy is our priority), <\/em>as everywhere today, internet cookies are something you have to deal with if you want to use the internet.<\/p>\n

To accept the use of cookies on a site, you simply click on the \u201cJ\u2019accepte<\/strong>\u201d button (I accept<\/em> or I agree<\/em>). If you decide later that you want to change your settings \u201cVous pouvez change d\u2019avis et modifier vos choix \u00e0 tout moment<\/b>\u201d (You can change your mind and update your choices at any time<\/em>).<\/p>\n

A la boulangerie-p\u00e2tisserie<\/strong> \/ At the bakery<\/em><\/p>\n

As recently discussed<\/a>, the\u00a0boulangerie-p\u00e2tisserie<\/strong> is where you go when you want to buy du pain ou des p\u00e2tisseries<\/strong> (bread or pastries). <\/em>And while you won’t find cookies there (on ach\u00e8te les biscuits \u00e0 l’\u00e9picerie<\/strong> \/ generally one buys cookies at the market<\/em>), some things you will find include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Et pour finir<\/strong> (and to wrap things up), <\/em>here’s a fun little video about a cute little boulangerie (peut-\u00eatre le plus petit de France?<\/b> \/ maybe the smallest in France?<\/em>) in La Rochelle.<\/p>\n
