"Esprit d'Aventure 5"

[Chillidoggy]

Now in its 5th successful year, the Esprit d’Aventure event will take place in France in September, between Thursday 19th to Sunday 22nd. This year it takes place in and around the area of Correze, and is organised by Hugues Bigot in association with ‘Club Lotus France’.

The format allows participants to choose either two or three nights in the hotel, and includes both cultural visits, navigational driving with your Esprit, and the experience of being with an enthusiastic group of other Esprit owners, who have come together for the event from all over Europe. Last year, there were 25 Esprit's of all models. This is an enjoyable event, highly recommended by yours truly, and there are usually about 5 British Esprit's in attendance.

To register your interest with no obligation, in the first instance e-mail Hugues at - bigot.hugues@orange.fr

Any other details will be in the France events section as and when received.

Only if you’re there, Bazza.

BTW, Hugues, who is organizing this would really like to get 50 Esprit together for the 50th anniversary of the Esprit next year. 

So we will need a much larger participation from accross the channel and this year may be a great chance to test the waters.

We also won't be far from the Bordeaux region and trunk space in the Esprit is big enough for a couple of bottles.
