jedm Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I went to Angouleme in 2015 as well and agree with Clark it's a fantastic, must do, event. Took the Westy and went with Classic Car Tours International as the decision to go was pretty much a last minute thing after the car was finished in time to make the trip possible. I would recommend CCTI http://www.classiccartoursinternational.co.uk to anyone. Perhaps not the cheapest way to go, but the organisation is faultless and you get to stay and eat in some fabulous places, and because they are doing these sorts of trips all the time they know all the best roads to use for a fun driving experience. Really nice people as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really nice people as well. Fantastic - been three years in a row now I quite like the organisation and I like to do my own thing - but yes why not give these people a try for your first trip it's certainly not something you could leave until the last minute if you want to make the most of your trip if you do it on your own Did you use the tunnel and have the much longer drive or did you ferry to St Malo or Caen?

We'd normally do our own thing but as you say with a last minute decision using CCTI got us all the bookings and grandstand seats that we could not otherwise have got. Went overnight to St Malo , drove down and stayed at Chateau de Rochecotte in St Patrice on the first night and them onto Bourdeilles where we were for Friday thru Sunday, with the option of moving on and having another three days touring the area around Perigord after Sunday or heading back home on the overnight Monday Caen ferry. Have to say, whilst I don't normally take kindly to being "organised" by others they did an absolutely fantastic job, and took us on some great roads. You obviously were in the same Grandstand as us as we are in a couple of your photos!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
