Dakar Rallye 2022 returned to Marseille

They should leave the port tomorrow. But it won’t be easy at all. The port is about 12 km long and has 10 gates. Nothing is clear at all and nothing is certain at all. This is something completely different … Continue reading →

Nice: The best catch so far this year

Nice did not introduce blue zones. Everywhere you go from the station, every tenth car is alien. You can also stay all day on the Promenade. Again, you will not have MA, DZ, TN. Just don’t go to the airport. … Continue reading →
