Citroën

Everyday I would pass this Citroën 2CV on my way to school. I fell in love with it. I never saw it's owner but apparently he/she did appear occasionally and move the car because it was never in the same place. 
The bumper sticker translates; This is not a car........It's a lifestyle. 
 Like everything in France, nothing is simply what it is. It's all a part of a grand scheme that makes life in France so extremely sensuous.

  3. I love citroens. My first boyfriend had a fancy old Pallas with padded armrests and floors... feeling it rise up when you started it was positively giddy making. I still remember it fondly. Going to France for the first time... well I rode around in so many of them that looked like yours... they are too much fun.

    PS I always said the same thing about my St Bernard... not a dog but a lifestyle!
