Interesting. The couple’s clothing is more reminiscent of ranch clothing in the United States. Even the man’s jacket with its short shoulder cape is similar in that respect to a cowhands duster, although a duster goes well below the knees. Are they farmers or are they on a French version of a ranch?

Believe it or not, they retired from Paris to Brittany. The wife keeps a horse in a small paddock next to their house, the husband does watercolour paintings and their clothes are what they choose to wear outside in cooler weather. This was taken in April 2020.
We’re in the middle of a dairy farm and animal feed growing area.
I think it’s a sort of country gentlefolk look, but we couldn’t wish for nicer neighbours.
