Having been married to a car fanatic for the past 17 (almost 18) years, I cannot help but take note of the cars around me. Back home, every car ride includes a commentary of the cars we pass. "What do you think of that one?" being the question I am most often asked. I have always favoured the European models, while Dad and son have a soft spot for the American muscle cars. Tomee just likes everything sleek and expensive-looking.
So, walking the streets of Uzes, I've noticed some unusually shaped cars I've never seen before and decided to do an informal survey to give my car fanatic the four-wheeled lay of the land . What my survey discovered was that the French mostly drive French cars. Out of the 20 cars we counted on one side street, there were 8 Peugeot, 7 Renault, 1 Citroen, 1 Seat, 1 Fiat, I Volkswagen, and 1 Audi. Sixteen out of twenty French cars, and the rest, other European brands. There are very, very few Opels (Europe's GM), a few Fords, and the odd Honda or two. Peugeot and Renault definitely rule the road! Sorry to report...no muscle cars here. Vive l'auto francaise! :)
