The handshake.

Saturday afternoon. Carrefour supermarket.

Brie or Camembert, always a dilemma. Whilst  I was weighing the pros and cons of each cheese, two boys approached the cheese counter.

‘Salut Joe’. The said in rapid succession, shook hands with Joe and continued walking.
Actually I don’t believe they stopped walking.
When did that start… the handshake?

Yes, everyone in France either greet each other with a kiss or a handshake. I had never thought at what age this practice would start.
They looked so grown up. They are only eight years old.
