Will370z Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 So Dad and I went on a little road trip to France last week with some friends from the austin seven owners club and it was awesome. Forecast was storms and rain but 2 days before we left the weather turned and we had the roof down all week. First stop was to see the landing beaches, it was something i really wanted to see and really gives you pause for thought. Arromaches and the harbour they built there was a technological master piece and a key part of the war effort. Seeing the harbour sections still out there in the sea is a sight that really makes you stop and think about what happened there. We then travelled further down south to Pay du Fou. This is a theme park like no other, where all profits go to charity. I have to say it is one of the most amazing places i have ever visited. The shows put on were nothing short of spectacular. The bird show with over 170 birds (eagles, condors, hawks, herons) all flying in formation just over our heads was gob smacking. All the other shows were fantastic (gladiators in a life size amphitheatre, viking battles, knights jousting, the three musketeers, war trenches, a light show on the lakes where musicians appeared out of the lake) and the final night time show at the castle was simply stunning. Over 1500 actors on the largest stage in the world, it was amazing. A link is included below and i definitely recommend it if you ever go to France. [" [/url] We then made our way down to Bressuire for the historic grand prix where one of dads friends was competing in a stunning Riley. What an amazing little place it was. The town streets were all set up to recreate the historic track of old and cars of all ages and classes were set to race over 2 days. It was great. The zed got a lot of attention as no one knew what it was. I am currently putting together some videos and pics will post them here. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbs Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Looks like you had a fantastic time, we have just got back from a road trip to France, Burgandy then down to the Dordogne, will definitely look at including Puy du Fou for next year. Like you we had load of interest in the 370, had several guys ask if they could take photos. Just love France. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Nice trip and some great pics. We just did 2500 milers across Belgium, France, Italy & Monaco - didn't see one 50 or 70 the whole time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's because (from what I know) LHD 350Zs were limited editions for the European market (mine has a plaque in it saying it is number x out 350 for the French market. It's a shame, but makes me so happy that I have one and it's that little bit more different over here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbs Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Saw two 370's on our trip, a dirty white one in Northern Burgundy and a black north of Rouen, didn't get an acknowledgement to my flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was post-brexit vote, they could have seen you have an english plate and ignored your flash due to the result? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will370z Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 It was brilliant. Honestly I can't recommend Puy du Fou enough, extraordinary place. Got some videos in the pipeline (when I work out how to use my new Mac), will post them as soon as they are ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
