I've long been interested in historic cars and this one deserves far more recognition. It is "La Jamais Contente", which in 1899 became the world's fastest road vehicle and the first to exceed 100 km/hr. It also ran on an electric motor. I saw it in the museum at Le Bourget Airport in Paris (it is now in the National Car and Tourism Museum in Compiègne). I thought ot this when I visited an electric vehicle show in Sydney (the PiP shows just a tiny corner of the large building-wide display). .

Some of our most pleasant memories of Paris were of a late afternoon organ recital in Notre Dame. What dreadful news today.

For France and particularly Nice in this time of sadness. Might I also suggest you crank your speakers to maximum and be moved by Mireille Mathieu.

To my French friends, on and off ipernity, be assured that the world is with you. Pour mes amis français, sur et hors ipernity, soyez assuré que le monde est avec vous.

It's Bastille Day and I'm in a very French mood, so I couldn't resist posting this shot taken several years ago.
