So a great show - we found a great restaurant on Saturday evening - admired the Art Nouveau style of the metro entrance

Found another great restaurant for lunch before heading home - we try to do at least one weekend trip a year to our foreign friends - this one worked out just great - it can't all be about seized bolts and damp garages after all ;)

Looks like you had a whale of a time there. Thanks but no thanks to the Citroën Mehari, marvellous thing though it is. It just doesn't tickle me to the same extent as that lovely grey Acadiane!
