Tonino Benacquista and the sense of smell, Chalon-sur-Saône (Saône-et-Loire (71))

 

In a shop selling spices in Chalon-sur-Saône is a quotation from novelist Tonino Benacquista, in which he states that the sense of smell has much more memory than any of the other senses, having the power to bring back the past in a truly remarkable way. It's a perceptive comment of course, although it forgets or is unaware of the fact that many people don't have a sense of smell.
