Dining in style...

Today has been a beautiful day. Well, as I type this it is actually pouring down with rain, but the sun is still shining!
We started the day with some gardening and a trip to the dechetterie. We then came back and decided to enjoy the sunshine and do some more gardening followed by a leisurely lunch - never let it be said that we don't know how to enjoy ourselves! The afternoon was earmarked for a walk. As we drove out of Le Petit-Pressigny we noticed these cars parked outside La Promenade.

I’ve written about La Promenade before, so if you haven’t read about the gastronomic experience on offer there you can read about it here, and here. If you live close enough a visit would be even better!
Well, this post is more about arriving in style to dine in style.  I can't think the owners of these cars were anywhere else but dining at La Promenade...








Whatever happened to the silver lady?

  1. Ooooh! Looks very posh - even the 2CV looks rather smart. Hope that rain passes over soon.

  3. Is it the way the lens is doing it... but that Deuche looks bigger than the E-Type....
    now, I know the chassis of a 2CV is long... but not that long.

    And where's the Flying Dame.... perhaps the owner found it too "Boar"ing....

    Bovril found... ta... money ready... drop it round?

  4. You are quite right Tim, the wide angle lens I used does make objects closer to the camera look bigger. A telephoto would have been better but standing in the middle of the road seemed like a bad idea.

      with a remark like that from Gaynor...
      perhaps you should check the clauses in the Life Assurance policies!!!
