Picture taken in the IKEA parking lot in Avignon in 2011. Car is a Paris registration so the driver was probably overwhelmed by the spacious parking spaces down south.
What's the problem? It looks like the car is parked in a single parking spot.

maybe its a handicap spot, way wider than the other spots it looks like, maybe they dont mark them in France?

Not a handicap, just one created for someone in a van to pick up furniture at IKEA.
Handicap spots are marked, the fine for abuse is about $300 or more. Also they have a sign that says, "Take my parking spot, take my handicap!" In French of course.
I'm applying for French handicap parking permit right now. Talk about a bunch of bureaucratic paperwork. Geez, Oklahoma had me fill out one double faced page, sign by doctor, send it with a couple buck and got my handtag in mail.
I'd thot this photo funny as the original mini was so small and you could park 3 in this one slot. Now the $30,000 Mini is much larger and people want to protect their doors.
Hey...any port in a storm...er, any open space in a parking lot. ;-)
The French accept foreign handicap hangers....here in Quebec we call them vignettes and in France they are macarons...travelling with ours for years....if you cannot find a spot,the attendant will come up with one..never failed,and by law any parking fees are waived. Never had a single problem...ever...always kind and helpful,and polite.

Darn, you caught me Rich. Photoshop can make anything look bigger. That's why I don't do nudes.
