Résumé
Remember those glorious summers of your childhood? Everyone piled into
the car (the kids, the dog, dad, mom, the cool box...) and you were off!
Off to join the millions of other holiday goers on the roads in
gridlock hell, driving hundreds of miles in unbearable heat (no air
conditioning back then of course!)... And this is what we called
holidays! Dad drove, naturally. Even if mom had her license she would
allow the 'man of the house', this weary shepherd, the dubious honor of
leading his bleating flock towards the promised land, which could be
anywhere so long as the weather was good. Sometimes, with the
magnanimous air of someone allowing us a great treat, he would turn on
the radio. That year all the summer hits had names like 'Nothing but a
tear in your eyes', 'Just don't forget me' and 'The sickness we call
love'. 'The sickness we call love' – they had that right! Because mom –
Madeleine, or Mado to her friends – had been suffering from it for
several months. She was sick of selling shoes to anonymous strangers in
holey socks. Sick of waiting for her husband, a comic book illustrator
by trade, to make a name for himself. She's after a new life. Because
the miles keep racking up and nobody so far has found the reverse on
this old jalopy we call life! After more pointless arguments and painful
silences, they have decided to separate. But not quite yet. Not till
after the summer. First they want to give their children one last family
vacation. After all, isn't it on vacation that families create their
best memories together ?

It's the summer of 1962 and the Faldérault family, grandparents included, is setting out on the maiden voyage of their brand-spanking-new Renault hatchback—Miss Esterel!
