Wonderfully french conversations

Having a short back and sides in the hairdresser's yesterday I listened in to a wonderful conversation.  An elderly man of Laguepie, do not know why I mentioned the elderly when it goes with out saying, if you live in Laguepie you are elderly!  He was having his leg pulled, the girls saying that he did not know how to put the "aspirateur" / hoover  round. All he knew was how to grow roses and chasse.
 He was bemoaning the end of the chasse season but brightened up to say there was a battu of pigeons this weekend. H e explained they were a nuisance to local buildings and then of course the young birds were very tasty to eat and his wife had some nice recettes / recipes for young pigeon.
 A different conversation to any I have heard in a UK hairdressers.
