The Glory Days of French Motering - how is this for style!
Fortunately, I decided not to ride today but to spend my time visiting some of the many museums here. I saw three - the fine arts, the antiquities/history and a car one (for Tony's benefit)! I think the French really know how to organise their "stuff". And beautiful stuff it is. Both the fine arts and antiquities are in beautiful buildings. In particular the antiquities which are in a building attached to the Cathedral of St Remi. It such an amazingly beautiful light filled limestone structure. Relatively unornate but stunning. Sorry there should be a photo but just share in the pleasure of my mind!
Oh, by the way the car museum was in a tin shed - where else really! It was delightful in its own way - lots of old French cars from the "golden era" the 1930s. Ever heard of a Delahaye. A futuristic car from the 1950s.
May move on tomorrow if the rain stops. It has rained continuously today. Something we Victorians have forgotten about.

Yes Bernie, I have heard of Delahaye. Any Amilcars? Jim
