A popular classic
This family of giggling tourists was having a great time yesterday on a 15-minute spin around the heart of Paris in mythic open-roof Citroën Deux Chevaux automobiles. The trio of cars stayed close together while tooling around Île de la Cité on a sunny morning photo-op escapade.
An icon of the French car industry, the Deux Chevaux, or 2CV, not produced since 1990, is a cultural reference and a symbol of a free-spirited living style.
