A drive through the countryside

Following on from Fridays post we took our 2CV France 3 to meet a few others, once the heavy rain had stopped that is!!

The event was well attended.

We had not been there that long when things started to happen... A convoy was lining up!

Glad Elizabeth caught the back of this van...

 All I can say is "I want one"

We ran (walked) back to ours and tagged on the end, with totally no idea where they were going.

We got waves and thumbs up from many of the locals

We even did some grass tracking

2CV's as far as the eye could see...

Where did they end up...

A goat's cheese farm... I don't eat cheese anymore and as Elizabeth does not care for Goat cheese we continued on our way, back home for a coffee...

Citroen 2CV Meeting, Braslou

Braslou is our neighbouring village (4km) and over the weekend it hosted a meeting of Citroen 2CVs. It was billed as 'one of the largest gatherings of lovers of the 2CV and its derivatives' and last year it was claiming over 200 cars at the meeting.

We went along on Sunday afternoon to see what was happening. It was raining profusely and we passed several of the cars leaving as we arrived at 14:00 hrs. At this point we were the only visitors to the site!

There was still a very good selection of cars and vans to see. The overall site was spacious with many of the participants camping there.

A few of the more interesting vehicles in top condition...

and others needing some care and attention...

We both liked this smart looking Charleston

There was also the usual animations and restauration...

It's such a shame it was raining so hard on Sunday but at least they had a good day on Saturday and whatever the weather they'll have had a great time.

My son's description of the 2 CV when I spoke to him last night was "that's the upturned pram isn't it". Don't know what he will say if we buy one!!
