the French

among the earliest settlers in Canada were the French...the country is officially bilingual too ...recently the local French community were out celebrating their Fete Nationale (Bastille Day to some), in tribute to unity in France

an icon of France, the Citroen 2CV, a popular economy vehicle, began production in 1948, and became the first front wheel drive car to be a million seller

Xx years ago I had one just like it. I have great memories of this 2CV. Beautiful catch. V

I always wanted to drive one of these or, at least, ride in one. I heard they are a blast. Great shot of this one. ~BV~

Great color for this cute little car. We saw lots of those when we were in Paris! Love the guy waving out the top.

That is so cool to see. The color is fabulous as well as the sun roof. V

I have to admit one of the ugliest vehicles ever known to man :) LOL

Must be waving at a fellow 2CV driver. The gear shift in these things were something else. V

A happy little car with a happy fellow at the wheel. So cool!

A time warp back to the 1950s!

Nice shot of this red beauty. They do have a sturdy undercarriage.

A fun, charismatic as well as quirky legend with a cult following....perfect timing capturing the driver's raised hand through the sun roof....V

A great looking car, I'd love to cruise in one one of these!

How nice to see this icon out and about!

Looks great in red. And a convertible too. My favorite version of the 2CV is the delivery van which a friend of the family had when I was a little Walter.

Viva le Citroen! vVv
Helen Betts24-Jul-2021 20:51
Perfect timing to get this great Bastille Day capture.

A well captured image and a good narrative to go with it David.
