Austin Healey Sprite, Nancy, France

Not the car you might expect to see in eastern France – but there it was. We only stayed in Nancy a single night (which was way too short), but it was there when we arrived, had left by the evening and was right back there first thing in the morning – so I assume that it is a regular there. The car was “driver quality” and was driven by an older woman who appeared to use it for her daily driver. Very cool. We’d just come in from Switzerland where everything is very much “by the book” and we were paying for parking just up the street from this, rifling our pockets for coins. A woman walking by said “you needn’t pay for the whole time you’re here. Just pay for an hour – that’s enough to make the police happy. So we did. And she was right. Vive le France. 🙂
