Bed in Shop

Interesting article today in The Guardian about a town in France where they have turned empty storefronts into vacation rentals.

What a good idea - don't think it would work in Scunthorpe though...

This was interesting. We visited Roman sur Isere one day when we were staying in the Drome in 2018. They were doing some works in the parks etc, but one of the things we noted about the town was the number of empty shops there were around. So what a good idea.
