The Citroën 2CV Is back, and It’s full of adorable, whimsical details.
The 2CV concept previews a tiny electric car that will enter production in the next couple of years and cost around 15,000 Euros.

Citroën is dipping into its back catalog and reviving its most iconic, influential car. At the 2026 Paris auto show, the French automaker revealed the new 2CV concept, paying faithful tribute to the original 2CV, which Citroën built nearly four million of during a production run that lasted over 40 years. But this new 2CV isn’t just some nostalgic flight of fancy; it previews a production model that will join Citroën’s lineup in 2028.

The 2CV concept is positively adorable. The shape is bubbly and the face is cheerful, with headlights composed of LED arches that sprout up from the pronounced fenders. The retro vibes continue with the chrome bumper that protrudes from the front bodywork, and a series of vertical lines that are indented in the hood. Even the door handles look old-school, dainty little metal units instead of the flush, electronic handles that have become commonplace today.

La Bonne Mère enfin protégée

⛪️Oui, la Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde (souvent surnommée la Bonne Mère ou la mère protectrice de Marseille) est officiellement inscrite au titre des Monuments historiques depuis le 29 septembre 2026.

Détails de la protection :
Niveau de protection : Inscription (le premier niveau de protection au niveau français).
Périmètre concerné : L'ensemble du site comprenant la basilique, l'ancien fort, le grand escalier, le pont-levis et les candélabres.

⛪️The Basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde (La Bonne Mère) in Marseille, France, is officially listed as a historic monument.

Scope of Protection: The listing covers the site in its entirety, including:
* The neo-Byzantine basilica
* The underlying historic 16th-century fort built by Francis I with its bastions and great upper terrace
* The grand staircase, drawbridge (pont-levis), and the parvis candelabras

Nature of the Status: It is an inscription (the primary/flexible level of historic protection in France) rather than a full national classement, allowing the diocesan owners to maintain operational flexibility while receiving state technical and financial support.

🎀 The Eiffel Tower lights up in pink to mark the beginning of Pink October, an annual global campaign dedicated to breast cancer awareness and research.

• The Meaning: The pink illumination symbolises solidarity, hope, and support for those affected by breast cancer, as detailed by the official La Tour Eiffel News.

• Timing: The special lighting usually starts at the end of September or the first days of October, replacing the usual golden evening lights from dusk until midnight.

• Best Viewing Spots: You can see the pink display clearly from the Trocadéro or the Champ de Mars in Paris.
