But when lunch is over there are still more moments to relish: learning the secrets of perfume-blending at a school for 'noses', the story of a crime passionnel perpetrated by a jealous husband on an oversexed, cycling-short wearing butcher, a connoisseur of funerals, a grower of black tomatoes, and the simple pleasure of finding the best way to idle away a lazy summer afternoon ...
