This brought back fond memories of our many trips to France. Normandy, Brittany, over to Dijon, St Tropez and many more. Fabulous scenery very often good driving roads with little traffic. Happy days. My first Citroen was a Deanne, which we bought when we had to go on a real economy drive, as all income after food was buying building materials to convert 400 yr old cottage. Brilliant little car which was also doubled as a builders van.😢 So pleased after five years and a slight improvement in finances, bought a GS. Worst car I have ever owned. However did not spoil our love of France.🥰

I like the way some of these press trips are changing to more of a life style rather than a pure review. Allows you to get a feel for DS so when you get a press car to review the emotion of the brand and memories give you a better understanding of the why and not just stats. Sure it was a great couple of days although shattering 🤜🍺

Fuissé has a terrific restaurant just up from that square/car park “L’O des Vignes” and a B&B owned by the same people on the other side of the square (“the hedgehog house”). The B&B is very reasonable - probably because they think, mostly accurately, that their guests will be eating in their restaurant, where dinner for 2 will cost about twice as much as a night in the B&B. Worth every penny though - a real “destination restaurant”. And the young couple who own/run them are charming and friendly.

One comment and one question from me: I found it very strange that you showed the car exterior after 8 minutes in the video. I hope you dont find my question very naive but what do you do if your watch strap is cut? Can you find an identical replacement or you have to buy a...new watch? I always had leather/fabric straps as I find the bracelet ugly but it's annoying when the strap gets cut after a few years, especially if it's a nice one llike yours.
