A few sights which may be unusual for an ex-pat

For an ex-pat, some of the things we notice among roadside views seem unusual, fascinating and charming. We collected a few images (when we could) mainly because we liked them. Of course, we understand these may be commonplace to Europeans in general. However, for us, we only moved to France recently (Milvain) and everything is new and exciting and mysterious.

We recently passed through the village of Precey, in Manche Department. What we saw in a roadside jardiniere was jaw-dropping. There were huge, dazzlingly-coloured mouldings as well as wooden carvings that would grace any garden.
