The last part cracked me up haha. These little little silly yet funny incidents are like treasure to enjoy life. It feels like I visualized a hilarious movie scene while reading the piece. I can predict the later part where the girls are looking at each other and laughing at the situation.

Like a little video, your careful choice of words paint a picture for readers, who then become viewers of this 'slice of life.' It's good, and you got the newbies and the locals down in the beeping of car horns. Nice job.

Thank you LJ for your visit and sharing your thoughts.
That must have been an adventure never forgotten.. well, seems it is.. and wonderfully written, Chris, cos what happened is so clear, so much fun.. giggle time personified. And, as happens, over time the French make sure that Brits realise the former don't believe in rules anyway: beep, toot and all that! Smiled start to finish, Chris.. :)

By the way, how many words can you think of that rhyme with giggle, Chris!? :)
Some semblance here to Barleygirl's latest, but minus the dope. I too can remember what it was like being young with friends on the open road. Wherever you are, it doesn't pay to offend the locals.

Hahaha! I would have liked to see that sight of fun and frolicking. The sense of time off for holiday, the freedom of youth, the reaction of the locals who like things slow and easy. Nothing like a good write like this one to cherish some memories.

ah to be young and dumb again...not to know better...but be naive and innocent.
Once we learn, it's never the same.
reminds me of some reckless things i did in my youth.
I really like this. I love nostalgia.

I think someone has been living close to the edge, thumbing her nose at danger. Oh, I was never like that. I swear. Really.
