While exploring Paris last weekend, just as we caught our first site of the Sacre Coeur, a group of 2CVs drove past. It was a great opportunity to photograph this iconic symbol of France in front of one of Paris’ most famous landmarks.
My first thoughts were that it was an owner’s club excursion or possibly a race and when I got home I googled the name on the car, 4 Roues sous 1 Parapluie. It turns out that this company owns a large fleet of 2CVs and they offer a full range of guided tours and events for individuals and companies. What a great idea! I have always loved 2CVs. Prices start from 10€ per person (for a 15 minute tour). A tour would make a wonderful surprise present for a special occasion. I’ll have to drop a few very large hints next time I’m in Paris (whenever that might be).
Will the 2CV become as a familiar sight in Paris as gondolas are in Venice? I hope so.
Been to Paris and loved every moment of the experience
If you have some time, do come by my blog :http://musewithcoffee.wordpress.com. I post daily musings, ebooks and daily insights that I find leaving a mark on our lives and inspiring us. I am a travel enthusiast, an avid reader myself and foremost an indie author. My ebook 12 Precious Anecdotes from Life is released in Amazon and I am pretty excited about it. It tells about celebrating life in all its beauty with a touch of adventure and inspiration. Its a fictional collection of 12 short stories. I could connect with your blog post. So I am sharing the book link with you – http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0087OXSS2. Have a great week ahead! Thank you
Thanks for popping by. Off to check out your site. Have a great week too.
Fab idea – might have to give it a go when I’m next in Paris!
And if you do I’ll look forward to hearing all about it!
What a fantastic idea, I tried to think of a suitable vehicle for London, a Mini maybe? then realised I have enough trouble getting in and out of our Focus!
I love the 2CV and always whip the camera out when I spy one. I’ll have to look out some of my shots and start a new board on Pinterest.
I look forward to seeing them
Great shot, Kat. Lovely juxtaposition of two iconic symbols. Beautiful.
Thank you. The timing was perfect and this one stopped in the traffic just long enough for me to take this pic!
Wonderful capture, and isn’t Sacre Coeur superb?
Thanks Jo and yes, Sacre Coeur is very beautiful. Lovely atmosphere too.
Lovely shot! And thanks for the info. Sounds like fun
Thanks and yes it does!
Met a guy about 10 years ago who drove a 2CV from Deventer, The Netherlands, to South Africa, back in the 80s. And had a photo album to prove it.
I bet he’s a few tales to tell!
