Run to Paris Easter 2008

[redbeard57]

Following the discussion at the Fox last night, was it the beer talking or is anybody else up for this........

A Run to Paris at Easter (March 20/24) with Continental Car Tours. Julie and I have travelled with them before and they also advertise in the MG mags. I suggest that we leave on 20th (Thursday) and travel down to the Premier Inn at the services on the M25, prior to going to Dover for the 9.30 ferry on the Friday (21st). We did it that way when we went and it is only about an hours run down to the ferry from the hotel.
The details are below are from the Continental website, anybody interested please add your name to the list and I will make further enquiries. At the present time there is plenty of space available for the run......

Paris in the Spring! Come and explore this wonderful city over the Easter weekend.
Stroll along the Champs Elysées; take a boat trip along the Seine; go up the Eiffel Tower for fantastic views over the rooftops; take in some culture at the Louvre, the Musée d’Orsay or the Pompidou Centre; go to Notre Dame cathedral in search of some history; experience shopping on the Boulevard Hausmann; explore the Tuilleries Gardens; take the funicular to the top of Montmartre; climb the Arc de Triomphe and look down at the traffic; take in a show; sit in a pavement café and watch the people go by!
And these are just a few suggestions. The possibilities are endless!
