Re: those old painted advertisements
I think it used to be a café, Tres. It's a domestic dwelling now though. I only caught it out of the corner of my eye. I was also parked right on a bend, so had to be quick.

A few more from this morning's jaunt into Saumur, Tres. These three are from the centre of Longué Jumelles.
The telephone box is in the centre of the village opposite the bar!

There's clearly something wierd in that village. First there's you of course but that goes without saying... then there's the picture you took of a flying saucer... then... there's the local superette that's called RADAR in a village called long binoculars... What is going on up there????

Re: those old painted advertisements
The Boss and I had a roadtrip t'other day. We went over to see Paula Jayne (mad as a fish everyone....) and on the way there and back we saw some cracking ads. So, these are for you Tres! Hope you like them.
We also visited Chenonceaux. Wow! If anyone's thinking of visiting, just do it. What a place. I took some pics and I'll post a few later on today (hopefully) on the Photos thread.

And there was me telling Jonathan how well we got on .. so that must mean you are even madder than me
Here's a pic, not really an ad but makes you wonder how they manage to get up there.
