I spent the summer of 2009 in France. Mostly the areas of AIX, Carry-Le-Rouex and Annecy. I was pretty new to Landcruisers then, had the 40 and a 62 in Hawaii.
I was out walking in Carry-Le-Rouex one day, just killing time and looking at the views when I saw a tired 40 coming up the road. No top, and the windshield folded down. When it got nearer, I saw the most beautiful red-haired woman driving it. I waved, and she waved back.
There was a hj47 that belonged to one of the vendors in the market in Annecy that I thought was pretty interesting as well.
Landcruisers are everywhere, man. I’ve seen several in Russia, Serbia, Bosnia, Greece, and Sweden, but I’ve never seen a fj55/56 in the flesh outside the US.
I found this video last week. Perhaps you will enjoy it.
