Finally, we got to buy our new car... by new, I don't mean a real "new" car, it's a second-hand one, but the condition is mint and the kilometers very low....
Anyway, it's a cute little "Smart" ^___^ these little urban cars that are quite popular in the big cities of Europe ;p A real publicity spot for it had been included in the Da Vinci Code movie (it was stated nowhere in the book that it was a Smart, but..)
I didn't get to drive it yet..... The insurance has been set on my b/f as first driver, and a paper is still missing for adding me as a second, occasional driver.... paper which my parents' insurance company said didn't exist.... we're not going anywhere on this, it's quite frustrating :)
We plan on going around with it once Summer will be there, for e.g, we'd like to go visiting the Castles around the Loire ^___^

Doesn't it look just like a little orque? (^__~)
Heheh! Donc oui, on s'est acheté une petite "smart for two" d'occaz, une plutôt bonne occasion pour remplacer notre vieille caisse qui nous a lâchés l'an dernier! Les beaux jours vont arriver, et les balades dans la région aussi! En été, on a l'ambition de faire les Châteaux de la Loire! hihihi!
En fait, des proches critiquent cet achat car on conduit peu et sort peu... on va au boulot/école en RER-métro, donc on se sert de la voiture le week-end surtout, principalement pour les courses et un petit tour dans la région (77), ou quand on nous demande de rendre visite à quelqu'un qui habite en Île de France, mais à 1h45 de transport de chez nous contre 40min-1h en voiture....
Déjà, c'est dans leur intérêt aussi, qu'on ait une voiture, car quand c'est chiant d'aller leur rendre visite, on a encore moins envie de le faire..... ;) forcément.
Ensuite, c'est parce qu'on sort peu qu'on doit se couper toute possibilité de le faire! >___<; Photos from our visit of the Vaux-le-Vicomte Castle, last summer. It was a night time visit, I loved it! An example of what we could visit now that we got our new car! this castle may well be in the same region as ours, it doesn't mean that it's easy to go there without a car ;)

Visiting a castle at night is a terribly beautiful experience, the place holds a mysterious aura then, with all the dark spots, the shadows of our silhouettes dancing at our feet on the walls, the candle lights teasing, urging us to fall under their spells. Night and its darkness conferred an eerie feeling to it, much to my pleasure! The lights and colors were just beautiful...
