|
I'm currently on holiday at Gruissan, near Narbonne in southern France and I stumbled upon this amazing 2CV graveyard on the outskirts of Narbonne.
This might be a common sight for those of you living in France, but to an Englishman this is a rare sight indeed!
Hundreds of A-series all piled up - loads of potential Snail candidates and an amazing place for vintage spares.
And we visited on my Wife's birthday - a romantic trip to a scrapyard!

Wow!
Nice to see something like that!
Do you have the name of the street in Gruissan?
I'm taking part of a rally in france with a 2cv and the finish will be in cap d'agde. Not so far from there.
If I have the chance and the time, I'll try to visit the garage

I went down there last year, try to see Carcasonne castle if you can, it's amazing (and free, if you don't go into the inner keep, which is no better than the free bits anyway). _________________ if it aint broke, fix it till it is |
