Check out another lonely, forgotten garage in France, this one only a few kilometers from where I lived there...
A quick count the morning of the number of folders full of pictures and blog post ideas that I have on my computer totaled almost 70. Some go back weeks, months, and even years. As I scanned though, wondering what to write about today, my eyes fell to a super abandoned garage I saw this past summer. Or was that soupper? Actually, to be accurate, it was Souppes. A friend from Canada had come for a visit to France, and we had taken a road trip to see to family and friends in the Loiret region of France. As we were leaving on a cloudy Sunday afternoon, this garage caught my eye just on the outskirts of the small town of Souppes-sur-Loing, not far from Fontainebleau. After a carefully executed U-turn of questionable legality, we got out of the car and took a peek at the rusty, derelict garage. My love of old, abandoned garages is no secret, and while of course I would rather see small, local garages keeping old cars on the road, I can't go by one of these closed shops without wanting to take a look and grab a few pictures. The many layers of signage that had been painted over multiple times suggested that this garage had seen many years of use. Check out another lonely, forgotten garage in France, this one only a few kilometers from where I lived there... I don't know about you, but I really enjoy these automotive finds on my journeys and road trips, and hope in the future to stumble across other soupper, errr super, garages and relics!

I would love to see pictures anyone else has of old garages they've seen! Feel free to email pictures, or add them to the Facebook site.
