Regular roadside sights

We had an amazing time driving through France. It's not just the thrill of driving in unknown territory, nor the fact that you're driving a car make that you don't have back home.  It's not the endless roads and roundabouts that you have to figure out, nor the independence that you have, going where you want when you want.  It's also the small towns that you pass by and the roadside sights that you'll never take for granted, being that you're from elsewhere and you just don't have them there.  Here are just a few:


Our first car, Norm.
Our Provence car: Marcy.  (Yeah, real cowboy-like Chris!)

Lots of castles overlooking beautiful landscapes
Monasteries and abbeys. We even stayed in a couple !

Monuments

Pretty roads

Bridges, dams and dykes



Well said! ("If you want to take my parking spot, please take my handicap as well!")

Neat statues commemorating neat people
