CIRCUITE DES REMPARTS SPECIAL

 

Week commencing Saturday 20th September 2008

This will be the third year we have organised our Circuite des Remparts Special. A must for classic car enthusiasts and both previous years have been a sell out.

Join us the week commencing Saturday 20th September 2008 to explore the delights of the Charente Maritime, and in particular, the excitement of the historic Circuite des Remparts, classic car racing held in Angouleme.

The “Circuite des Remparts Special” offers a programme which commences with arrival on Saturday at La Rose des Vents, with a welcome 4 course dinner, with aperitifs and wine, served in the Manor House.

On Sunday, we take a scenic run to Angouleme, (just 40 minutes drive away), to experience the excitement of this historic road race when the whole town becomes one enormous classic car meet with displays of classic cars, tour the paddocks and watch the racing.

On Monday enjoy a long leisurely lunch, with local classic car enthusiastes in the garden at La Rose des Vents.

Last year 35 of us enjoyed lunch amongst a line up of Morgans, MGs, TVRs, a ralley prepared Lotus, Citroen Traction Avant, Jaguar E Type and a beautiful Ferrari Dino.

The rest of the week is free for you explore the area – a range of prepared scenic runs are available and Cognac, Saintes, La Rochelle, Royan and Bordeaux are all within easy reach.
