Autignac, southern France, my first time here was 1979. Small shops and cafés everywhere around the square. Old men and women sitting talking in narrow streets until late evening. Now things are different. Even the Tabac is closed. The old people are gone, I don't know where. Most families living here around the year have moved to modern villas with nice gardens and pools just outside the old village. In the village centre houses are sold to people from northern Europe and used as summer residencies. During winter many houses are dark and empty.
And what happened to the Citroën Ami 6 – maybe left behind when the family moved to the new villa a bit away.
