I LOVE French Parking

Well, to start off, I have to say how much of a kick I get out of the tiny French cars, especially the Smart Cars. They are really incredibly small. And then there's French parking. I have no idea of how they manage to get their cars in the tiny spaces, let alone getting out again. Here is a short series of shots from Lyon to illustrate.

First, you see Car 1 (blue), Car 2 (red), and car 3 (white).


Next, Car 2 and Car 3 getting up close and personal.


Then the real kicker. Is that legal? I especially enjoy the fact that you can see that Car 1 is a Peugeot.

I guess they must all arrive in order and leave in reverse order. There really isn't any other way. But I have watched some people do some amazing parallel parking jobs since I got here.

Saturday band stayed to watch A Bands so they got home way too late to celebrate then. Chel got her picture in the newspaper playing her flute during the performance. She's having fun. Aunt Carole

  • Laura, are those matchbox cars? They look so tiny I'm guessing the drivers just picked them up and set them down that way? Connie
