The Essential Guide for Car Enthusiasts in France

If you are travelling to France and want 200 ideas of interesting and road trip tours, markets and circuits to visit, look no further than this guide.

Not just for car enthusiasts

Although admittedly aimed at petrol heads, this guide will give you great ideas for days out, museum visits or events to see across France, ranging from the historical to the downright quirky. The Motorsport and Circuits sections of each chapter offer opportunities to get behind the wheel yourself or sit in the crowd at a Grand Prix. The one complaint about this guide amongst car enthusiasts is the lack of any hill climbing events.

Find motoring events and places of interest in France

The guide is divided into five regions and each has an overview map showing the approximate locations of the motoring events and sites of interest. For ease of use, the sites are numbered on the mapping and in the section's table of contents with the page number. The map numbers are colour-coded, identifying if the site is a museum, a show or tour, a market place, a motorsport event or a motoring circuit. The pages then have colour-coded tabs locating the five sections within each chapter.

Each automobile event/site listing includes:

• Well-written description
• At least one colour photograph
• GPS coordinates in format: 51.079967 N, 1.13885 E
• Contact details, including address, website and telephone number
• QR code that takes you directly to the event/museum's website
