Philippe Goulet, the long established Saint-George butcher, opened his new shop today in the Place Bretonneau. Philippe Goulet said that the new shop was much easier to work in as it is all on one level, while in the old shop he had to do a lot of the preparation and work downstairs in the basement. The new shop also allows them to display their meat and other produce to much better advantage. Monsieur Goulet makes particularly good boudin – both noir and blanc.

Philippe Goulet, 13 pl Pierre Fidele Bretonneau, 41400 Saint-Georges-sur-Cher.

If only we'd had one boucherie like this in Lillehammer. Given that Saint-Georges-sur-Cher has just 2155 inhabitants (according to Wikipedia), we should have had ten or so of these, but there's not a single one.

London used to be like that JT. Fortunately the last few years has seen a few high quality butchers start up successfully. That figure of 2155 must be for the commune, which is quite extensive as the centre certainly doesn't have that many inhabitants.
