IN THE OLD TIME DAYS . . . . .

About one week ago, I've seen this bus in Paris (XX ème arrondissement).
It's an "Old time" bus. It's possible, nowadays, to rent this kind of buses for special occasions.
Il y a à peu près une semaine, j'ai vu ce bus dans une rue du XXème arrondissement.
Peut être avait il été loué à l'oocasion d'une célébration .


Here 2 pictures I found in Google, just to illustrate its 'previous life' about 40 years ago and more.
Pour se remettre dans le contexte .....

  6. It looks really boxy and clumsy but still so cute. Those old busses require a lot of strength from the driver as there is usually no steering aid. There has to be some speed to make the bus turn easier. I´ve seen them do it, it´s really difficult!
