Watch out for speed traps on the way down from Le Mans, especially as the road goes into single carriageway after dual when you're about 10k away...

Three of us got pullfed two years ago, one had license taken away for three days...

That's my old lime green Carrera in your picture above.... Had a good photo opportunity in front of the Chatuau

Since all of us will be driving classics, programme your abacus for the following to get there:-

47 49.21 N

0 05.20 E

No cheating! Do not use a GPS! And I suggest a little stop before the bridge as you leave Malicorne and look around, plus, if you like porcelain, the museum is well worth a visit.

Ah, great a friday event at the classic. See you there, thanks

[Poshbury]

That's sods law, we're just an hour & a half away but have guests leaving and more arriving that day. We missed St Saturnin for the same reason too. Que sera! Maybe spot a few cars passing through Ambrieres with luck.

Would love to come, but its a little far south as we are 20 mins North of the circuit. At Sille Le Phillipe. Chateau de Chanteloupe Campsite.

[Bobafett]

Excellent, expect a bunch of Sunbeam Tigers and Mustang to pop along in the afternoon

What else are you going to do and 50 mins in the lovely French countryside is not a chore..
