Basically the French cannot park! Where we live in Tours we watch from our balcony with amusement as every evening the French hustle and bustle and try and fit their 'petite' cars into spaces designed for trucks! The record stands at 8 movements to turn into a simple angle park. Why can't the french park? Because the french enjoy doing everything the hard way and then when it's really too hard because they have slotted their car in way over to the drivers side and realised they can't actually get out of the car, they simply shrug their little french shoulders, sigh a little 'merde' back out and drive away!
Two of our fav things so far? Sitting in Le Place Plumereau drinking a couple of 'cold' beers with a name that sounds like 'phlegm' and watching the monde go round! And; taking a canoe down Le Cher, paddling under a chateau and catching the train back home just in time to sit in Le Place Plumereau to drink phlegm and watch etc etc....
Look, Rick managed to get a keg on board by offering Judi the front seat and slyly sneaking it on behind her!
