Martin M. Miles' photos with the keyword: LEDISTRIBPAIN

After having parked the car in Tollevast to visit the fantastic church again, we saw thos vending machine. Saint-Martin probably had not changed within the last five years, but even a population of about 1500 may not be enough, to have an "own" bakery. Often a boulangerie were followed by a "dépôt de pain", where baguettes could be bought from a bakery, that may heve still existed in the next village. Now these dépôts seem to get replaced by vending machines. They even accept credit cards!

Only about 250 people live in Saint-Léger-sur-Vouzance, so a boulangerie, that belonged to every French village, may have been closed already long ago. Mostly boulangeries were followed by a "dépôt de pain", where baguettes could be bought from a bakery, that may heve still existed in the next village. Now these dépôts seem to get replaced by vending machines. This was the first machine selling bread I saw in France. The machine even accepts credit cards! The telephon booth on the right is on the list "Last Chance to see".
