#3 In Bridgehampton, NY on the main street (Montauk Highway) is a restaurant named Pierre's. The owner is French - Pierre Weber. He has an iconic yellow 2CV that is always parked in front of the restaurant. Better than a neon sign to find the place. |

#2 At the preserved site of the massacre in Oradour-sur-Glane located NW of Limoges in central France, there is a rusted-out Citroen body in the center of the town square, left there exactly where it was along with many other ruined artifacts - bicycles, a sewing machine - as a memorial to the 642 men women and children slaughtered by the Waffen-SS on 10 June 1944 |

#1 I sent this to a former French colleague in Austria last evening. He remarked that "the Citroën was a favorite staff car of the Gestapo." That distinctive grill and windscreen, an indicator of the arrival of bad company, had one been seen rumbling about the village. |
