I've just been part of a rally in the Montagne Noire (Black Mountain) in the South of the Tarn departement but... with the 214 cabby far much at ease in those twisty & winding country roads than the stately V6.
BTW We won two prizes: one for the most distant equipage (no merit TBH) and another because we got the highest score in the quiz we were given with the road book... Don't ask me how we achieved that...
There were many jokes about that naughty 'social distancing': none of us has had any knowledge of somebody caught by the disease here. Only 5 casualties in my departement (Tarn & Garonne) and nearly no patient remaining in the hospitals. It's the end at least at the moment.
