- Driving to Fronsac: an endless ribbon of orange on the skyline seen through rows of grey poplar trees.
- The arrivals and departures board at the station is computerized and silent now, no more clickclickclickclicking as trains move up the list.
- In a brasserie in Paris I wonder at the tourist woman who eats a meal with her hat on, all the while avoiding eye contact with her hard-faced companion.
- A conference of surgeons mills around during the coffee break; purposeful, grey and almost exclusively male.

Fine snapshots indeed, a great idea! I'm wondering about the woman with the hat too. What kind of hat?
These are great, Lesley! I'm so sad about the departures board -- have they all been converted or might we get to hear them in one or two last stations.
The clickclack of the departure board was lovely, wasn't it.
I can see the drive to Fronsac - lovely.
Oh the sound of the departure board. Used to love it.
nmj: It was a tall woolly hat! She didn't take her coat off either.
mater: I forgot to look at the board in Montparnasse.
MsMac: I know. When I notice it had gone, I thought, how sad, the children will never know what it sounded like!
Clare: It was a very dull day but the skyline was lovely.
