Reviews
This book was originally published in 2015 and has been fully updated in 2017 and provides you with all you need to know to enjoy a visit to France with a motoring twist. Given the limited space available for each attraction, I thought the results were excellent; in a few words and with enough colour photos, there is enough information to whet one's appetite. This is an excellent book and every car enthusiast who visits France should but a copy.- Citroenet; Forget Brexit, France is still the best place for the classic enthusiast. To help make the best of your trip, Julian Parish's invaluable guide to all-things auto in France is vital, sporting 11 new events, 130 new photos, live events calendar and digital POI downloads for satnavs. Motorsports, museums, show, and events including Classic British Welcome (classicbw.org), the day before Le Mans is here.- Classic Motoring; Despite its small size, designed to fit in a glovebox, this handy guide succeeds in being both exhaustive and unrivalled in the clarity of its presentation. An impressive piece of work, supplemented by an event calendar and index at the end of the book. The essential tool for the enthusiast. - Lettonie.
