No, but I know my TVR will be there or near enough in July for a couple of weeks. My parents have a flat on a peninsula near Toulon, a place call Giens. So I intend to go down by the centre of France through Paris and the volcanoes area ( Massif Central)and then come back through the Alps to Paris and then to the UK.

I drove on an Autoroute through the Massif a few years back: it started somewhere down by the Med and took us right up the country. There was hardly a car on it, I could have done warp speed all day. I seem to recall it wasn't finished (probably still isn't as they had to get through the hills and valleys at the bottom end). It'll be a superb road when it's finished (though long and boring it'll be the ideal place to hoof it!). A47... something like that? Don't have an atlas handy.
Was on the Cote d'Azur last summer with me Julie: didn't take the TVR though

I'll be in that area towards the end of July. Probably in my Griff.

Anyone fancies a tour of St Tropez ie: convoy through the town in July? They will never have heard anything like a few V8s cruising through their village. There is a wonderful windy road going from Hyeres through a few hills in the back country dropping back onto the bay. Perfect TVR road anyone interested?
