Traffic Jam's Festive Re-Enactement - Cahors

Who said being stuck in a traffic jam was gloomy? Certainly not the Cahors vintage cars enthusiasts. They're taking a trip down memory lane, and bringing back the days of holiday traffic jams for nostalgic fans. Before the ring road was opened in 1987, holidaymakers were obliged to take the N20, which meant driving through Cahors town centre, which was saturated. A real nightmare. Well, this Sunday July, we're going back in time. Cahors, south west of France, July 21, 2024. Photo by Denis Prezat/ABACAPRESS.COM
