The Dyane was built by Citroën from 1967 to 1983. More than 1.4 millions were sold. It was often asserted that the Dyane was intended to replace the popular 2CV, but it was nevertheless aimed slightly higher in the Citroën range. A genuine 2CV-owner (like me at that time) looked down on Dyane-drivers, as they were believed to be silken cowards, pampered by luxury.

The church in Saint-Léger-sur-Vouzance, erected in the 12th century, was locked. A lady invited me to enter her garden, next to the church, and have a look around the church. She was the owner of this nice, blue Citroën Dyane. The design of this car was based on the (little) more basic Citroën 2CV (= "deux chevaux"). About 1.4 millions were manufactured from 1967 - 1983. I drove a 2CV in the early 70s, - with exactly the same blue.

View from my room in Lyon. A very strange name for a parking garage. The whole name is TITANIC. Only the first three letters were visible from the window. Still is a strange name. In front of the building parked the most famous french car ever. In exactly the right colour. Light blue.
