Places in France

There are lots of places in France that end in "rie":

Creperie = A place where they make and sell crepes.

Glacerie = A place where they make and sell ice cream. 

Boulangerie = A place that mainly makes and sells bread usually including all sorts of baguettes but can also sell pastries.

Patisserie = A special kind of "boulangerie" that specializes in pastries and sweets, including cakes

Viennoiserie = A place where special baked goods are made and sold, specializing in using yeast leavened dough or puff pastry, which are usually eaten at breakfast or for snacks.  Some examples are brioches, croissant, pain au chocolat, etc... 

Boucherie = A place where fresh meat is cut and sold (a.k.a "Butcher Shop")

Charcuterie = A place that uses the otherwise scraps of meat and extends the life of the meat by preparing and selling cured meats and sausages

Fromagerie = A specialty cheese shop

Brasserie = An upscale restaurant where the atmosphere is a bit more relaxed; Brasserie is also the French word for a brewery, so beer is sold in Brasseries

And then today I saw a new one:

Bridgerie = As I walked by, I looked in and saw round tables with people of a certain age sitting around doing something together, and then I saw the sign:  "Bridgerie".  Oh right - a place where people play bridge.  LOVE IT!
