Once more: the Beret Museum in Nay
The "Musee du Beret" has appeared a number of times on this blog and I envy the people who have or had the opportunity to visit this museum - some 20.000 kilometers between the museum and me make a visit for me a bit costly...
Even though I believe there is no substitute for Spanish and Argentine boinas, the museum's Boutiquesells a good variety of berets. And, of course, the history of the beret in France is long and fascinating.
A short photographic tour of the museum can be taken here.
Daan Kolthoff is a writer, living between the hills of Wellington, New Zealand and, when not writing, meditating or walking the hills, he is usually researching, reading about or ordering berets from around the world.
