A nice house.

For one point, please respond and tell me which car was built here.

A small one, I suppose....
Is it from Germany?

I see some photoshopping on the side, close to the roof. Was there a clue there?

The house looks very French, so I assume we are looking for a French car?

Sure, it looks just like my neighbours' house when I was a teenager...

The interesting things happened there when you just weren't a teenager anymore, and it was not in Niort.

Niort? I left that place forever when I was only a month old, Wendax (apparently, there are too many infos about anyone of us on the internet...)

I have no idea about the place and car, though, but I 'd say it dates from the 1970s

Is it where Jidé cars were made, starting around 1969?
