Sunday Drive: Citroën

Another Sunday, another Citroën. We saw this Citroën 2CV "deux chevaux" parked on a street in Olargues* in late August of 2009.

*Olargues, about 20 minutes from Roquebrun, is officially one of the most beautiful villages in France.

Sunday Drive: Citroën

One Sunday four years and a couple of days ago, Bonnie and I went to the semi-annual antiques fair and flea market in Pezenas, about an hour from Roquebrun.

This gorgeous old Citroën 5CV wasn't for sale but it was sure getting a lot of attention.

Sunday Drive: Citroën H Van

As I was taking this photo on a side street in Paris in 2009, Bonnie remarked that it was her favorite vehicle in the city.

Although it looks antediluvian, the van might not be that old as Citroën who began production in 1947 continued to make them through 1981. Apparently they've become quite popular as food trucks although according to this British site, they're not particularly reliable.

Sunday Drive: Two Citroëns

Bonnie was dropping a departing friend off at the Beziers train station several years ago when these two red cars parked side-by-side caught my eye.
