Even buses can have donkey carts

As I've blogged in the past, everywhere in France we see cars, some nice some not so nice, often with small metal or wood carts attached. we call them donkey carts as they look like something that a donkey should be pulling behind it rather than a car. Some are rather small and seem to be used for a suitcase or two, while others are larger and more substantial and appear to be carrying more belongings for moving or a major vacation while the auto passengers do not want to be crushed by their luggage even though the French usually travel pretty light. This trip we noticed that even a bus can have a donkey cart, although a very large one. As we approached the market in St. Remy one day we ended up driving behind a large tour bus from the Czech republic. Although most buses limit luggage and stow it all beneath the bus, this one must have had a different policy as it towed a large donkey cart behind it full of luggage, certainly the length of a large SUV and nearly as tall as the bus, complete with a cover that contained advertisements for a company in the city of origin for the tour bus. So, yes, even the buses buses can have donkey carts.
