Not a 2CV

This is a Citroen Acadiane, a development from the Citroen Dyane, which itself was developed from the 2CV. I had to include it here because it is a type of vehicle called a 'fourgonnette' in French (fourgonnette being my favourite French word).

I wonder why that is your favourite French word. (I love them all.) Now I don't know if it was one like this or one like the green Dyane in your other shot which captured my imagination all those years ago!

I've never seen one of these in real life: this one looks as if it has had a hard life but it changed hands relatively recently judging by the registration. (Better not mention that the exotic sounding 'fourgonnette' only means mini-van!)

[Granagringa]

This is quite dramatic and dynamic in how absolutely straight on it is!

I refer to a mini van in North America as a mom mobile. What is that in French?

@moonmtn A direct translation would be 'voiture maman' but the word really used for a larger car to carry thekids about in would be 'monospace',

@quietpurplehaze If it was before 1967 Hazel, then it would have been a 2CV. The best way to tell the difference from a Dyane is that the 2CV had Froggie eyes, like these two - https://365project.org/laroque/365/2017-07-15 and https://365project.org/laroque/365/2017-07-18

@quietpurplehaze @vignouse My second favourite French word is 'vichyssoise' which means 'leek and potato soup'. Now your turn.

Nice capture of this old beauty.

I don't really have a favourite French word... but my least favourite is Brexit!
