In the city centre in Toulouse, twenty cars were set alight at St. Sylvestre ( New Year's Eve) and 14 people were arrested. They do seem to have a liking for car burning the young, maladjusted French. We are planning an overnight in Toulouse on the 13th (any burglars reading, we are leaving pet sitters in our house ) We had planned on taking the car but maybe we will go on the train. If anyone can recommend an exceptionally nice Hotel, I fancy a one night indulgement... and what Malc may not have realised is, it will be the start of the sales. A perfect time for a visit!

We went by train to Toulouse recently and it was a great success - much less hassle than taking the car and very comfortable. The section between Villefranche and Lexos is particularly picturesque as it snakes along the side of the river Aveyron ( good for us but maybe not so convenient if you live "down south")
Val says The Connexion newspaper says through out France 1,193 cars were burned for fun, hope they were ''old bangers''
