FRANCE Express blog-Laissez le bontemps rollez






























Yes, let the good times roll! We spent a few days in Paris (as you can see), then drove to Carcassonne by car through windmill and agricultural country, rainstorms and high winds in our Opel Minerva. Here are some of our visual treats for you*, express from France. This is French holiday time, so everyone in France was on the road. So much of where I am located in the south of France - an artists' retreat-is mountainous and reminds me of my stay in Cayey, PR-winding, steep roads, lush vegetation. Differences you ask? Well in Cayey the waftings of the lechoneras, felled babmboo across the roadway, children in the street, immovable dogs sleeping in the middle of the road, and drunken guys riding up the mountains on horses in the dark--- Ain't none of that in France. People tend to live in their interior spaces a lot more. More on that next time.
