Some interesting seeds were picked up and I must admit I presumed we would pay similar prices to those here so when I only got change of 5 euro from 20 for 3 packs !
I suppose central Paris wasn't the best place to do such a shop lol.
Oh what did I buy? Cumin , fennel and a variety of watercress.
Sorry but am I hearing this correctly, 5 Euros for each packet of seeds . If yes, I think you've been robbed blind as tourists are not regular customers that they need to protect their reputation. I would have walked off but then I'm a bit of a b*tch with suchlike b*tch business practice .
