Anyone going to Angouleme this year?

We did it in 2017, enjoyed the rally although weather not so great, planning on trying again this year, wondered if anyone else is planning the trip?

Will keep a look out for you. We are two TVR Tuscans and a 911

All three cars in our party are booked on the Rallye on Sat. Agree it's not exactly cheap, but a great drive and the lunch was epic last time we did it.

I remember the Escort vs 911 battle..it was epic. Hoping for better weather this time. Say hello if you see us. (2 TVR Tuscans and an Aston Vanquish volante)

The whole town becomes a classic car fest from Friday through to Monday morning. All the bars and cafes and restaurants are populated by petrolheads on Friday. Many of the streets in the town are set aside for classic parking (modern classics too) usually by marque.
There's a big rally on Saturday with an exquisite lunch stop. Entry by ticket only and it's not cheap. Sat is also qualifying day and there is a concours show in the evening.
Sunday is race day. It's a short tight circuit around the city, but good fun. You be able to get entry tickets at the venue during the weekend. Usually many Brits in attendance, both spectating and racing. I believe it clashes with Goodwood revival this year but the race entry is full, so should still be good.

There's a fab little cafe / bar called Cafe Chaud we sometimes frequent, just north of the centre. Could meet up for a glass of something?

We tended to populate the Chat Noir which is very close by, may take a stroll up to Cafe Chaud on Friday. How would I ID you?
