[quote user="NormanH"]... about the new (and ugly) bus stop just installed opposite the Mairie

The new bus shelter is certainly going to take some getting used to, surrounded as it is by established, well-proportioned buildings.

The shelter looks as though it is leaning forward, almost ready to fall apart. Is that called built-in obsolescence ?

[quote user="NormanH"]I fear it is a symbol of the present state of the town.....

That might, unfortunately be true.  I've never really liked Beziers .... always seems a bit seedy and down at heel, even around the hotel de ville where some of the  buildiings are quite elegant, I do agree.

As for the structure itself, it looks like the next strong wind will blow it down.  By no stretch of the imagination can it be called an elegant solution, and we've all seen plenty of elegant bus shelters in France.  I wonder how long before it gets the inevitable graffiti, which at least would make it look a bit better and brighter!!
