I agree with your reasoning. But Montpellier is a quite a tourist place especially during summer. Maybe it still make profit with them it is not a smal minority.

Tinier city have a really good tramway system too. Saint Etienne, Tours, Montpellier and many others have a great tramway system that is as good as a metro.
Non ce language est parfait, je n'y voit aucun problème. ;)
Yeah alsobutly they are doing exactly that. My personal take is that "economical et political environment" means everything and nothing. Car industry are glad that ppl are mad a intengible stuff that they can't do shit about because they can do business as usual and complain that every individual action is as the same time too much and too little. In this instance I don't give a fuck that a car dealer get their expensive SUV damaged. But we also have to promote alternative and better infrastructure.
Meh, I would say fuck SUV for existing ! And they specifically target a seller in response of a child being killed INSIDE a school by an SUV.
Backpacking and bike is already a viable option in my country and it is the holidays I like the most. And I feel like it is more and more popular (my girlfriend job is to organise horse hiking for multiple days and it is awesome). Not going on the other side of the world but living even greater adventure nearby.
I'm in the same mood but with replacing my car. My car is at the end of the life cycle. And I have no intention of prolonging it much longer. It would cost me money an buying a new car really threatened my budget balance. Gladly I live in a small European town and I don't need a car for work so everything should be ok for me. The only problem is that I want to use government credit for an ebike by getting rid of my car, the thing is that I live in a flat and I don't have a bike garage.
I never understood this attitude of wanting soooo bad a game to be dead. If you don't like it don't play it. Let other ppl have their fun.
