True story.

Near us in la belle France is a picturesque old town called Hesdin: cobbled square, imposing Hotel De Ville, lovely old church.

Approaching the town, one drives through a very lovely forest, called, naturally enough Le Fôret d'Hesdin.

One fine day, two British tourists, new to the area were bowling along through the forest in their French hire car and experienced a rather unfortunate collision with a young boar.

Being law abiding chaps, and tidy, they puffed and heaved and after some struggle, had loaded the poor old piggie into the boot, set on handing it in to the next Gendarmerie and also apologise profusely, to the first agent they happened upon, for accidently killing French wildlife.

Et alors ! Some time later they heard noises from the boot, screeched to a halt and bailed out of their car!

Whereupon the boar, which had only been heavily stunned, proceeded to smash its way through the back of the rear seat and into the inside of the car!

Having totally destroyed the inside of their hire car, eventually, the boar smashed through the windscreen and set off back about his lawful business to the forest!

I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when they called up the hire company!

And the rep from that company saw their car!
