Parma
... tours running throughout the afternoon taking people through the aged meat and cheese cellars underground. It seems to be a very popular place for all the foodies!

En Italie, j'ai appris qu'il fallait avoir la zen attitude pour conduire. Les stops n'existent pas, si la limite c'est 130, ça roule à 160, excepté s'il y a un radar.
As usual, le stationnement que j'avais noté était rendu obsolète (bâtiment dorénavant en construction). ...
