K7 VCT Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 (edited) So a party of 4 cars. 2014, sigma S3 175bhp+ 1998, 1.6k S3 160bhp+ 2 x 620s SV Left UK at 6.50am this morning after frying on the M25 yesterday in slow traffic🥵 Now in Joinville, France, south of Saint Dizier. Over 32 degrees today (but felt like 45 in a seven! We all enjoyed the run down really🥴 We have melted multiple times but soon refreshed in the nice air conditioned cafés on route! The French folk have been soooo very very welcoming - and helped make our day! Ready for the same again tomorrow!! Great company.

Graham Hutton Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Looks amazing. Have a great time. My trip to La Rochelle last weekend was very similar in terms of Patisseries.......but slightly different in that it was raining all the time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ainsley Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 I'm looking forward to a trip to the Pyrenees later this year - the need to fill up the tank frequently will be a good reason to stop and eat French Patisseries. Keep posting up pictures of the trip to annoy us 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Travelling in France, all morning long filling stations and cafes. Around 12, decide to stop at the next one. There never is a next one !! All afternoon. So many trips ! Touring the last fortnight we found most shops including big supermarkets are closed for lunch 1230-1430 every day and all day Sunday.

Ainsley Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 That's brilliant ! I find it odd the French all seem to drive those bland Peugeots, Citroens, Renaults, but love interesting cars. I was touring round years ago in my Lotus Elise and got loads of attention. Stopped at a Wine making place and got given wine by the owner just because I let him sit in it !

Graham Hutton Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 That's really cool! My experience in France was a bit different in that literally nobody even seemed to notice I was driving a Caterham, no interest whatsoever until I got back to the port in Roscoff where a big group of Ferrari/Astons/R8s etc arrived at the same time. They basically abandoned their cars and congregated around mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
