Holidays are fun! (UPDATE: Petrol head?)

• 

Next Monday the French celebrate their national Bastille Day. This day marks the start of the French holiday season, which means lots of people will start their vacation tomorrow. Especially the famous Autoroute du Soleil, leading to the sunny south coast will be extremely busy. The Black Saturdays are feared for their notoriously long queues waiting for the toll-gates. Holidaymakers are advised not to drive on these days, especially not tomorrow July 12, but also on the Saturdays July 19 and 26, August 2 and 9. But of course holidays aren’t always a strenuous affair. Take this family of five for instance. They found a nice spot to pitch their folding caravan and are sure to have a nice time.

Update by Steve Gallichan: “I hope the young men in the foreground (click!) are not using the petrol in the two gallon can to clean their teeth! This brings a whole new meaning to the term petrol head! I think the family car is probably a Standard 12 or 16hp from circa 1934?”
