We were with friends at L'Auberge - our local - for lunch the other day, which was good as always. Not sure how this cropped up in the conversation, but Chinon is the only town of its size in France, without traffic lights. Without traffic lights? Yes, it is true. There are no traffic lights in Chinon. We've only been driving around the town for the last six years, and not noticed! Traffic flow is controlled by a mix of mini roundabouts, speed bumps, varying speed limits and a partial one-way system. The more we've thought about it, the more impressed we are. What's more it works.
