Petrolhead Nirvana - Millau Tour

[Cactussed]

Guys (and girls)

Just back from this (exhausted) and cannot recommend it enough. Absolutely ball-tearing trip with some great people. The roads were sensational (with a few particular highlights), organisation was spot on and hotels / locations breathtaking. I expected Formule1 but instead it was 11th century monastaries, boutique hotels and proper chateaux all the way!

Photos and video to come (once I figure it out).

If you fancy a road trip this year, book one of these. Its just awesome. Truly.

PS - work is soooooo boring in comparison now...

Oh yes, how dull is the daily grind now?!

Guys I have to concur with Drew. This was an epic road trip over a long weekend, the kind that leaves you exhausted but happy. Spectacular roads, cool cars, amazing scenery and fantastic people to boot. I've made some new friends along the way and enjoyed every minute of the driving. The roads in Europe are incredible. Needless to say I'm already enquiring about the next tour. I guess I'd better start saving ...

Edit - a couple of photos

Looks fantastic !

Have you got a link to who you booked it with ? Or a route map ? I'm off to Barcelona in a few months and looking for alternative (better) roads that I can incorporate into the return journey ...

Here's a taster. Video compression is poor, but the sound is OK

Like the vid... (or the noise) I did a Europe tour last July, that was one of the stops I couldn't do up Mont Ventoux - there's always next time...

Really must get myself on one of their tours, everything I've seen and heard has been fantastic.

Those photos are brilliant too
