The south of France

Things move fast in the exhibition world. After the show I did in Berlin I was booked to go to Geneva in Switzerland for my next assignment. but all things being equal I got a call with a very different proposition.

They need me to go to Nimes in France and then straight to Marseille for the same show to be installed and then back. A double whammy as they say. I will be doing this with a friend of mine that I just introduced to the company and as I know the system well I can break him in so that he can do future shows by himself.

June is a very busy month and all the shows seem to be happening at the same time so we needed extra help.

Then 2 months with nothing.

That was a long and enjoyable 12 days in France. I could go on about the French people and their driving habits and total lack of respect for other road users or their peculiar closing time of their shops and restaurants and services on the motorways... but I prefer to write about the landscape they inhabit and the history we feel when driving through. What a place to be. The further south you travel you can feel the influence of countries like Morocco and Spain.

The cost of Marseilles is quiet breath taking. And Nimes with it's coliseum and street coffee is unique. What a place to go to work, it could be worst, allot worst as you can judge bye the photos below. Next assignment will be in September. I wonder where it will be this time...

Wishing you all a good summer.
