Roundabouts

The town planners have more fun with the roundabouts here than back in Europe - but at least it means that I am beginning to get the hang of navigating a bit better
the elephant roundabout on the main road we live near



the chicken roundabout - or Place du poulet as it is known locally

this roundabout in town place des cineastes - represents reels of film, there being a big film festival here every other year
United nations roundabout - complete with globe

and guess what we call this one - which is more of a junction than a roundabout really - but nevertheless..

And there's me thinking the Arc de Triumph roundabout looked scary!!!

These remind me a little of the roundabouts in Luxor, which always had nice decorative centre pieces.

well this has made my day on a drab Saturday morning, I think the hague would be a better place with roundabouts like this, or should we apply to have one in Laroque.........
