I love France but some of the officials can be less than charming....


I would have been tempted to remind him that if it wasn't for us all French citizens would have been driving German cars for years..... I hate that sort of thing, never had a problem in a car but seen lots of issues when on a bike in France, never from small towns and villages where everyone was wonderful but in major cities, Paris in particular, they are a total nightmare.
