Automatic transmission technology really hasn't reached Europe yet. As such, it's incredibly expensive to rent an automatic. Just days before departing for France, Mary Ann decided to take a two-hour crash course on driving a stick shift. Three weeks later she was expertly navigating the steep winding road following the Gorges de L'
Ardeche in our
Citroen C2. Keep in mind that the sub-compact C2 can go 0 to 60 mph in 15 seconds. My parents riding lawnmower probably has more horsepower.
I don't know how much Mary Ann was able to enjoy the view, but I was surprised by the beauty of the gorge. The most astounding natural phenomena is a natural arch that bridges over the river at one point. We'll have to make another trip back to canoe through the canyon.
