Not sure if anyone is interested, but every year in Brittany there is a unique motorcycle event in August which draws bikers from all over Europe.
The climax is a religous ceremony at a church in POCARRO and a parade through a large part of the local area.
There are some photographs in my online album
here
Note the few bikers in fancy dress (team Barbie) and the vintage BMW combo with a toddler in!
Local people line the roadside to greet the bikers as they pass, and local police close the roads to non essential traffic for the duration, and ensure that the event is safe and enjoyable.
Should you wish to join in, and need times, let me know, and I'll try and find out more.
The later pictures in my album show French re-cycling in operation - and the AXIAM car which is not required to be registered, and is usually driven by those who have lost their licenses, or dont want to pass their test!
It sounds like a lawn mower when you encounter one!
The final picture taken in Rennes, shows French police operating a zero tolerance policy on some rather unsavoury characters.
They had been asked to move on from outside a shop where they had been begging, and when they attempted to repeat their misdemeanour in another location, the police arrived to move them on yet again.
Should you decide to join the event or travel at other times, take heed!
The municiple police are firm but fair in my experience, but watch out for the Gendarmes who have powers to impound your vehicle for lack of documents, drink driving or none payment of on the spot fines for a range of other offences.
