This week we enjoyed the annual Vaux Rouillac 'Savons Fou' or Crazy Soap boxcar race! In this village, it's taken very seriously, and every year in September, the teams gather to see who will win the honour and the glory...

This is truly what i love about France and the French culture. They love their local traditions and combine it with good food ...

This type of racing originated in the US in Akron Ohio in the 1930's, known as the "Soap Box Derby", it takes place in July. These soap box cars have to be built alike to very stringent specifications, so as to not have any one with major advantages of any sort, they are all hand built of course ....Happy to see your village having this much fun, with all sorts of different and crazy styles of "cars". Looks like a fun day for all. Thanks for sharing!

Hi George, Thanks for the history! I didn’t know that it started in Ohio. So fascinating how these things travel. Hope you’re well and your house hunting is going well 🤗

Jenny, I absolutely loved this video. I appreciate so much how your YT channel highlights the unique nature of the local, urban French culture. There's so much more to see and do than what's in Paris (though I do love it there). Hope you & Anders are well!

What a fun race. I was holding my breath as some came around those turns. I'm so glad that the one person that was injured will be fine. Thank you so much for taking us along.

Good morning Jenny, that was a lot of fun. A good time had by all, the partakers and the viewers. These events do bring the community together in a good way. I am sure new friends were made as well. Glad Mario's injuries were not too serious. Some of the speeds around those hairpin bends were breath taking :) The commentator was funny with his uh uh uh utterings. Kind regards.
