Hide AdLeslie said: “We were contacted by them only a few days prior and we didn’t expect a full film crew and Sisley to pop by and film for nearly two hours. She was lovely, very kind, funny and chatted with us for a while whilst filming, enjoying our delicious magical treats like disgusting jelly beans.
"We were overjoyed to think they’d include our shop in a huge series about Europe and overjoyed knowing that this could potentially bring tourists to Falkirk supporting small businesses all around us.”
