France trip, Jul 2007 - The not-so-minor detail


We stayed at a B&B called Gîte de Chaloux near Simiane-la-Rotonde. The road to the Gite is unpaved so one has to drive very carefully at night. The building itself used to be a hamlet. The current owner is French and he speaks very good English. Our room is huge but the furnishings are very basic. It does get windy at night and the owner's dog sometimes get lonely/love-sick, but other than that, it is usually quiet and peaceful. It was high season and for the price, we don't have any major complains.

On the other hand, our car rental agency, Sixt, has gave us a pleasant surprise when we arrived: we were upgraded to a BMW 325! The car did use more petrol but it was comfortable and stylish!

If ATV is 'the vehicle' for Greek Islands, then a BMW is 'the vehicle' for European roads!

I will tell SP about the photos, he will be happy. He is the photographer!

And I don't think I can't make a living being a car model. I don't have the looks and the body. And I certainly don't know how to pose properly!
