Adventure, conviviality and French lifestyle will be the keywords of this road trip!
The idea: Crews of two or four aboard a convertible 2 CV car follow a route which will take them through twenty of the most charming and pictureque villages of France from Paris to Cannes. The villages have been selected for their outstanding patrimony and architectural quality and the group will be able to celebrate the French lifestyle of the villages, through the discovery of their heritage, terroir and hospitality. The organisers say that all ingredients are gathered to live an unforgettable and unique experience.
The tour takes off from Paris on Sunday May 12th and participants will be briefed on a treasure hunt with riddles and clues to take place en route which will be undertaken in iconic 2CV cars. Driving south through twenty of the officially “most beautiful villages of France” (Les Plus Beaux Villages de France®) until finally arriving at Cannes during the famous Film Festival on Sunday May 19th.
