france, i wanna go

i want to go to france. i feel i would be inspired if i went to france. i've been loving the french versions of everything i already love. i love signs, cars, bikes, motorcycles, buildings, and guitars. the french design aesthetic seems to me like- this can be fun, lets try and enjoy ourselves. ok?

this site has great signs from france which inspire me so i try to copy them. mine look a little dopey though, i call it hand made charm

this beautiful sports car is called a Facel Vega. i like it. don't you?

they even have a nice logo
i love citroens. this 2cv looks so homemade i want to eat it. there's one down the street and i tried to eat it. i was so embarrassed when i realized what i was doing. this citroen ds had hydraulic suspension in 1957(!). the back goes up and down.

i love french constructeurs. they're like bike builders but they make the parts for the bike too. not just the frame. the best are rene herse and alex singer. although both guys are dead you can still buy an alex singer from his shop in paris. it's run by his son (? or something)
ok, i don't care that much about french motorcycles, you all know more than me about france's architecture and i can only think of one french guitar and that's the maccaferri as played by django reinhardt and seen in the movie sweet and lowdown. i do want one but it's not my favorite

i guess that's the end of my blog. bye.
