I see a future of giant robot ships chasing the last fish into the yacht basin at St. Tropez, where Brigitte Bardot blows the whole fleet out of the water with Harpoon missiles.
Brigitte! Qui vit sans folie n'est pas si sage qu'il croit.
This is Sanary-sur-Mer, around 1942, I guess, when it was full of German writers... Sanary-les-Allemands... even before the picture of Brigitte, which probably dates from around 1960. Qui vit sans folie n'est pas si sage qu'il croit.
I know most people were probably looking at her but I never thought much of her, not my type, especially given her politics; go more for the Balasko type myself, call me a prole if you want. Fai de bèn a Bertrand, te lou rendra en cagant
Five years ago I was changing trains in Toulon, and the auvergnat waiter in the station bar noticed my guitar case. What do you play?
One thing led to another, and all of a sudden les auvergnats started coming out of the woodwork! Exiles in Provence, with an informal daily get-together at the station? or maybe it was just a coincidence.
Anyway, somebody taught me the chords for...
"Loin des bruits de la ville, j'irai jusqu'en Auvergne Sur les collines couvertes de bruyère..."
I never had as much fun in St. Tropez, much less Nice! Qui vit sans folie n'est pas si sage qu'il croit.

I'll give it maybe another decade. Waterfront property isn't getting created on the littroal of the medtierranean every day you know, so it is saying something that prime waterfront property will have taken so long to do anything with, and the town suffered for it.
La Seyne is finally redeveloping the shipyards - that took twenty years. The amount of right-wing corruption, Arreckx, Trucy, Scaglia, Valenti, Fargette, most of whom ended up in jail, boggles the mind. Fai de bèn a Bertrand, te lou rendra en cagant
