Just back.

You know I have been going to St Jean d'Angely in Charente Maritime for 20 years. I spent a load of time there this year, okay in hospital with family, but in all these years I never realised thats the wee town houses the Musée des Cordeliers And within the museum is an exhibition of Citroen in the Sahara.

I only found this out when I was leaving so never got to visit. Found a little bit in Wiki but I think there is more.

Will be visiting soon.

The Kegresse are a famous landmark in Citroen's early history and significantly
cemented their reputation as rugged pioneering cars being the first vehicle to
cross the Sahara:

Quite something to see in an exhibition - would imagine a great visit
-better too if you're fine with the native language!
