Motoring
France is very different country. They do
things differently here, especially when you get behind the wheel of
a classic car or astride a motorcycle.
With 600,000 miles of well-maintained roads, including
5,800 miles of super-highways, France has one of Europe’s most extensive road
networks, but with a population a little over that of Britain, at 61
million, much more space for driving. Britain, by contrast has only some
216,000 miles of roads, and most of it appears to be a giant car park.
You’re either stuck in traffic jams, being congestion charged,
or lectured for destroying the planet. Driving and riding in France is a pleasure, not the
chore of navigating Britain’s roads.
One of the great pleasures of running a classic car in Deux-Sèvres
is pulling onto the road and noticing just how little traffic is sharing
the road with you. What traffic there is will often acknowledge classics
with a smile and wave, such is the French enthusiasm for old or unusual
vehicles.
