About the event

Monday 23 June - Saturday 28 June 2025

The Classic Vehicle Group would like to invite you to join us on our annual jaunt abroad in June 2025.

The trip is being planned again with our Boundless partners, Brittany Ferries. We will be departing on the 8:30am crossing from Poole to Cherbourg , a relaxing way to begin a few days of sightseeing, arriving in Cherbourg at approximately 2pm local time and after disembarkation we will make our way down to our overnight stop at Ibis Port de Plaisance.

The following morning, after a hearty breakfast we drive down to the Ibis Styles hotel at Fougeres.  This will be our base for the next four nights.

Fougeres - Your first sight of Fougères will be the impressive granite silhouette that dominates the town, nestled at the foot of the largest fortress in Europe, nearly one thousand years of history is before your eyes!  Take a stroll through the old town, with its lively café and restaurant terraces, the half-timbered houses and cobbled streets exude charm, a reminder of the town’s wealthy past.  If you feel inclined, a visual and audio presentation accompanies the tour of the castle, telling its history from the year 1000 to 1500. It’s almost as if you were there…

Wednesday – The suggested plan for today is an outing to Manoir de Automobile Museum at Loheac. A drive of about 50 miles depending on which route you chose to take.  Museum open 10am to 1pm and 2pm to 7pm.  Website www.manoir-automobile.fr

Thursday and Friday – at leisure to explore the local area.  Dinan has a weekly market on Thursday, 8am to 1pm and also a Model Rail Museum open afternoons only.

I hope you can join Marian and I on the trip.
