Helpfulness
All our children used to walking, cycling or travelling by car look on a train ride as a real treat particularly an old steamengine pulled train. Which means we don't have a chorus of "Want to go on the little train" whenever they spot a little tourist train!.
One day as we were making our way around the side of the Basilique Saint-Sauveur from a walk in the Jardin Anglais and the ramparts before we heard the bell of the little train or saw it coming we heard a fanfare of horns heralding a motorcycle and car cavalcade followed by the gaily bedecked little train.
But they could not have gone on this one for if followed a procession of bridal cars and carried all the wedding guests around town and to the place of the reception. The hooting of motor horns following a marriage seems a local custom in France, Italy and Spain and is heard more and more in the UK.
