Another Brush with the French Police

by campingcariste @ 2008-07-06 - 22:44:31

There is a Little Harbour at St Trojan for some nice Boat pictures.

We can Bike from there to the Atlantic Beaches, It keeps me looking fit and Muscular to go with my Golden Hair and Beach Boy Tan. Sue wanted Tambre to stick on Post Cards, we decided to take in the Poste on the way to the beach. A bit out of our way a bit uphill, oh well!

Blow that when we had got the stamps the road that links to the beach road was one way.

We are only going one way I said as we set off on the pavement. At home a lot of the official cycle paths are on the footpath. This is France a hot afternoon there are no pedestrians no traffic. Just the odd car parked on the path which cause us to hit the road to go round it.

Blow that, so that is where the Police station is, on the left as we emerged from the road, its 50 Meters away and a shirt sleeved Officer is standing on the steps chatting to someone in civvies.

Blow that, we need to cross the junction and the next section is also one way, its totally safe didn't see a soul on the first stretch.

About half way down was another car on the pavement and a blue car coming the other way, we dismount and wait for him to pass, the car stopped, a Uniformed arm on the window, he gabbled quite a lot at me I didn't grasp a thing.
"Pardon" I said "I'm English", he looked at Sue, "You English too"? "Oui". A finger pointed to the sign at the end of the road, "The circulation is one way, you must obey the signalment at the end of the road".

"Sorry we will walk OK"? "OK".

I am sure he was despatched from the Station round the one way system in his car to deal with these Law Breakers. I love it, you feel so protected.
Back home our car is parked outside our home. On two consecutive Thursday nights the passenger door lock was damaged and the car broken into. I phoned the Police and got a Civilian each time who gives me two Crime Numbers. "What investigate a crime, who do you think we are"?

Let's have another boat picture.
