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.

Decades ago I owned a (4th hand) Citroën DS21 for just one year. The most comfortable car I ever had. I had to sell it finally - and it was cannibalized for spare parts. A shame! A DS-Cabriolet was even rarely seen in the 1970s. This is one of the very few that survived the times.

Next to the massive walls of the former Abbey of Sainte-Marie-des-Dames, founded in 1047 by "Geoffroy Martel", and now a cultural center, - a very lonely AMI 6. Citroën produced about 1.000.000 AMIs between 1961 and 1969. The production of the "AMI 6 Break", seen here, started in 1964.
