Car parade ...........

Last year we were having our usual walk around Le Petit-Pressigny when we realised that something was about to happen. The village centre, which is normally fairly quiet, was buzzing with people. So we did what we always do on such occasions and buzzed with them!


We didn't have long to wait................

A few cars arrived. We wondered what all the fuss was about and decided to buzz off and continue with our walk. As we were preparing to leave horns started to blast and a stream of cars turned into the car park behind the Salle des Fêtes , and indeed parked anywhere and everywhere they could find! I didn't count, but there were probably well over a hundred participants in the parade.



I'm not much good at car spotting, so can anyone help me to identify them? Here are just a few.........














Our neighbours Pascal, Martine and Simone who run the village boulangerie did a roaring trade, as just about all of the participants dashed across to the boulangerie to buy their baguettes.
Cheese, bread and wine were served at the Salle des Fêtes, although I did hear tell that this year they kept an eye on the bottles of wine, because last year when the cars drove away so did what was left of the wine !!!!!!!!!! 



I am exaggerating here :o)
