Howsafe Workwear and Safety Equipment Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Hi all Just thinking about a plan for this years road trip We are considering Circuit Des Remparts (will be my 4th visit). We have a few days to tour afterwards and was wondering where to go? Preferably on way back up rather than further away. Any good museums (motoring or war) or military places - or any particularly pretty places to stay ? We will have an overnighter in st Malo before getting back on the ferry Thanks Clark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 This place is fantastic Clark. It is only 20 minutes from the Chunnel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Coupole I visited last year but didn't get long enough so will be shortly visiting again.

Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Hi Clark, We've visited here twice during our 2017 & 2018 visits to Le Mans- https://www.manoir-automobile.fr/home/ 4 Rue de la Cour Neuve, 35550 Lohéac, France Time your visit well though as they close for lunch, so I'd suggest to visit first thing after lunch or as soon as it opens. Both times it's been rather quiet and the F1 grid full of French cars is just epic! We've stopped here on both trips too: http://www.hotel-combourg.com/en/ There's lots of great war museums too. Have a look at our trip here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingster Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 A few years back we flew to La Rochelle in our micro lights, remember Ile de Ré and it being near where Fort Boyard is - also les sables de O’lonne, mont st michel, arramanche all worth a look.

Ask @Greenstreak-Andy D about our brief trip to visit Mont St. Michel in 2018. He's not shut up about it since...............or is that me 😉 It's gone rather industrial on the parking scale and you can't get anywhere close in your car anymore. You have to park up and take coaches to visit now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkymart Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 @Howsafe Workwear and Safety Equipment I've been wanting to do the circuit des ramparts for a few years now but I. Really struggling to find any useful information. Is there plenty of camping there or is it hotels. Do you need to book up early? Last year at the Silverstone classic I was talking to a group of marshalls at the pub on the camp site, one of them was French and he'd never heard of it. Any information would be appreciated Thanks Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTR2Turbo Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 The whole Normandy coast along route do liberty has loads. Definitely American cemetery at Omaha. There is also the bayeau tapestry near the British cemetery. loheac car museum has a good kart track and at weekends often has some experience driving type events where you pay to drive difeerent cars on their track if you fancy. St michael worth a visit but needs atleast half a day to do justice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
