Maintenant l'image change un peu, ils vantent les qualités des vins franįais et les magasins, implantés un peu partout, restent ouverts jusqu'ā 21h.

We found out that the surrounding towns and cities are actually much nicer and have some of the charm that I suspect Amsterdam once had an abundance of. And, ...um, ...yeah. That's Holland. It sucks.
