I see that you are going to Lyon on Friday, but if things change and you are there on a weekend, http://www.musee-malartre.com/malartre/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; is much under-rated (about 300 historic vehicles on display) sadly they are under-funded, and in January only open on Saturday and Sunday.

Thanks, hotels already booked.... so days are fixed, I think Lyon will be an open top bus type tour of the city....

I really wish I was joining you on the trip Ray, but unfortunately other time and financial commitments do not permit!! It will be a great experience I am sure and like others I look forward to following your progress on Facebook etc. I wonder if there are any other cars involved? After completing two Challenge events it will certainly be momentous and memorable! Anyway travel safely and the car should serve you well. In my humble opinion there is definitely no better way to travel across France. Bon Voyage! With regards, Matthew T.

That is the first time I have ever heard of that.
