Should you be crossing the western channel in mid June, you could stumble across the “Tour de Normandie” an annual French vintage car rally which runs from Wednesday 13 - Sunday 17 June 2007. This promises a cavalcade of classic french cars from vintage to 1970s which will be so evocative of the France of old films - such as Jean-Luc Goddard’s Weekend [1967] - wonderfully quirky old Renaults, Simcas, Citroens, Matras ……
The route starts at Epaignes (27 Eure, Normandie) north of Lisieux to Elbeuf (south of Rouen) via ont l’Eveque (home of Père Magloire Calvados); then south to Evreux, west to Orbec and finishing in l’Aigle (=the Eagle! 61,Orne, Normanide.
More than 100 vehicles are expected which should provide an interesting spectacle in the gently rolling countryside of Normandy, perhaps enhanced by a little of the local produce - cider, Calvados (apple brandy), cream, butter and cheese!
