Car -ish things to do in France?

Post by mikmik » Fri Apr 23, 2010 9:24 am

...s'il vous plait?

You're a well-travelled bunch - does anyone know of any car-related activities or museums in th North of France or the Paris area or what-have-you?

Thanks in advance

The MMOC have been talking about doing a weekend run around the Normandy beach landing areas and maybe a little inland as well.

Schlumpf Bros collection in Alsace?

Big list at Musees Automobiles de France et de la Locomotion, with a location map 8) . In French... :?

And if you're around Normandy on the 25th April, it's ANZAC day, when NZ and Australia remember our fallen (our equivalent of Armistice Day), so don't be surprised if you find a few of our lot in a contemplative mood.

I'll arrive a day too late for that Bryan.

There were a few Irish lost there too, so I'll probably spare a thought for them - and everyone who died on those beaches - while I'm there.
