Quatre Chemins
Wednesday, September 9, 2009
As I mentioned a couple of days ago, we had our cars serviced this week and thus had to drive to the dealership in Grasse for the third time in as many days today. At 5:36 this evening, I took this photo of the rather large fountain in the center of a traffic circle called Quatre Chemins (meaning: four roads, or lanes), named, no doubt, for the six roads that come together here (I swear I’m not making this up). While their naming conventions can, on occasion, defy logic, one has to give the French credit for making an attractive spot out of a dreary intersection. Alert readers will of course notice the statue of the clown sitting on a roof in the background and the familiar golden arches on the left side. Relax, Pierre: I won’t add to your list of recommended local eateries today...
