Why not go on a guided tour with such as Classic Grand Touring and do teh rally on teh Saturday and teh gala dinner on teh Sat night. That's what I did.



I'll post some more thoughts tomorrow as I have done it both ways, wioth and without a guided tour.

There's several threads covering this event with much information - try a search on Angouleme

I'd offer some photos from my trip there but it looks like it was so long ago they're not digital !

Fab event and as noted by Francis rally & dinner recommended

We're open to any ideas.. Didn't know they did an organised tour... We'd be up for that

There are a number of tour operators but I can thoroughly recommend Jamie https://www.classicgt.co.uk/

You also get to visit the famed Hotel de France https://lhoteldefrance.fr/ en route

I and friends have done a lot of tours with them and can very much recommend.

Not in any way connected, just a very happy ongoing client.

If you don't want to do it with a touring company you need to find another hotel, which is not easy as the good hotels get booked up by the tour companies very early.

I did use the https://www.booking.com/hotel/fr/ap...faf38ce532100047;type=total;ucfs=1&#hotelTmpl

Which is fairly central with bookable outdoor parking.

Also Brit Hotel Terminus, with a very tight bookable parking, but three Ferraris one year when I was there, but next to an amazing unmissable fish restaurant. Hotel is basic
