Anyone interested in going over to France for a holiday and/or to meet the French MINI enthusiasts?

No details yet, so any suggestions/ideas will be welcomed.

I personally would like to get out of UK during the first weekend of June (4-day weekend due to the Queen's Golden Jubilee celebration)!

Other ideas include renting a gîte/villa.

See also my thread on Hamburg.

Cheers!

How about Disneyland Paris for the weekend of 01-04 June? It has a new theme park opening in March.

Anyone interested can make their own booking etc., and we can sort out convoy arrangement later.

I'd be interested in a trip over to France in the summer.

How about some accomodation in Normandy or Brittany, near the coast? Plenty of nice fast empty roads, great countryside, clean beaches, good food and cheap wine!!

I'd be up for that - now just to talk my girlfriend into it!

Nice one !
Just need the car, the time of work and I'm there !
Great idea...France is a doddle and the French mini owners are superb !

Sounds good fun to me.
I still reckon we should also do a Beaujolais Noveau run too.
How about hiring a large French chateau and we can all get together and do a BBQ or something, along with the usual French wine run.

Keep me posted.

I too was very keen to hire a large villa so that we could have a self catering holiday with lots of cooking/BBQ.

However, it is going to be a nightmare to organise (I believe this option is strictly for very good friends).

Count me in for wine runs providing the piggy bank is in good shape
