May 2025 Tour to Northeastern France
A three centre tour to the Battlefields of The Somme, The Laon Historique Classic Car Show and The Champagne Region
In essence we would travel over from Calais and spend three nights in each of the centres – in total 9 nights,10 days. It’s a relatively low mileage tour. The journeys to Dover and back will be by far the longest stints in the car.
I will conduct a guided tour of some of the WW1 battlefield and memorial sites, lead our participation in the Laon Historique and conduct a guided tour of the Champagne Region with cellar visits, tastings and scenic driving.
We will be staying in hotels with a combination of B&B and Half Board.
