| Le Bouchons de Pons 2024 with a Renault Ondine at the head of the queue. |
During the sixties and seventies in France, traffic jams on the way to your vacation destination were common place. In Pons there was no bi-pass of the town centre (by the N137) until 1969 and thus "bouchons" or traffic jams were common there in the summer months. Now they celebrate the nostalgia of these traffic jams by recreating them each year on the last Saturday in July!
We went to Pons for the fifth "Bouchon de Pons" this year and saw all the wonderful pre-1976 classic cars and people dressed up sixties and seventies style. A great little event.
