Only in France! Local Classic Car clubs, including our 2cv Club Pontios, block the towns roads twice in one day, have two or more driving circuits of the town on streets lined with cheering residents and visitors, fill the square with cars at lunchtime for an Apéro at the Mairie and fill the park with pique-nique participants whilst listening to a live band in the square. All for free. We had an incredibly enjoyable day taking part and reflected that this type of event would be very difficult if not impossible to do in Nimby England. A few pics: .....and this short video gives a good impression of the festival atmosphere that prevailed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFmMg8wnOs8 Enjoy! |

Marvellous stuff, plenty of fun going on as well... Thanks, Chris. . Would you happen to know what that blue car is, with faired-in headlamps? It's in the lineup, just past an R4. p.s. Just had another look and judging by the wacky wipers, probably a Peugeot? |
