I've seen two 2CV in Montréal, with Québec immatriculation on the back and French immatriculation on the front (modern post 2009).

"CV" is for "Chevaux" (horses) but we're talking "tax horses", a calculation used for a taxation system where more powerful vehicles cost more. The current french formula is 0.00018 * [power in kW]^2 + 0.0387 * [power in kW] + 1.34

The Xantia can have the classic hydraulic suspension (hydropneumatique) identical to the Citroën BX or the Hydractive II system with an electronic calculator on board and more "spheres". The XM had the first Hydractive system.

We're missing a high-speed connection here. The Bordeaux-Sète line is relatively slow (130-160 km/h) and handle a lot of different traffic (freight, regional, TGV, intercity). If the Bordeaux-Toulouse high-speed line is done (planned 2032), that travel time would be shortened.

On some routes between France and Switzerland police and customs inspection seems to take place on board. It's even better, no time wasted.

In the 90s, one of the most expensive Minitel, the Magis, had a card reader on the side, probably working like a point of sale terminal. [0]
The overlay of X.25 Transpac network on IP for payment terminals was cut off 2 weeks ago. [1]

I still have the 4 floppy disks (french version). I remember the sentence generator with random words that was really funny. The word processing interface had a ribbon-style toolbar with tabs and multiple "pages" that we can alternate by clicking on the lever.

Maybe you could try to build Notepadqq for MacOS [1] but it's not well integrated at this time.
