Date is June 14th Eurosatory show in Paris, World's largest defense show. What I'm doing there is personal information that is locked. Anyway, hired a Renault Megane at Gare du Nord for 9 days for 469 Euros. Chap was happy to upgrade us since we are leaving from Frankfurt. He wanted us to return a german car for him at frankfurt and will give us a hefty discount for it. And you know what, he gave us a VW Touareg with GPS system to compliment our TOM TOM. Now we can have zoomed out overhead view on the Touareg SatNav and 3D view from our TomTom. Best thing was, it was only 299 Euros for the 9 days! Praise God!
We shot out east to Nancy Metz area in Lorraine, the place of the battle of the Bulge. We past some farm stays and detoured into the country roads, the Touareg came in handy, especially through some rough country short cuts, including cutting through people's backyard vegetable patches.....oops.... In this picture you see Paul my partner getting a little to enthusiastic with trying to photograph the cows with his cell phone, the bull thought he was trying to get fresh with the cows and got really violent, we have to scoot to save our skins. At this place we bought some nice ham and pate with cranberry jam etc. Half the price of Paris.
We visited some vineyards in Champagne, this shot was taken in the famous Tatlinger Champagne. We also visited Moet Chadon and Castellane.
Tools of the trade, bros, people actually used these till recent years to make wine.
Town Centre at Nancy. Nice Idlic town in the middle of Northern France. Shooting North from her we entre Belgium in the west and Germany in the East.
