A 365 Mile Round Tour for Guernsey's Old Car ClubHotel du Lac - Feature Story

 

I Travel are organising this visit to France in May 2008 by the Guernsey Old Car Club. 

 

The Club will be travelling from Guernsey to St. Malo and on to Combourg where they will be staying at the picturesque three star Hotel du Lac.  The hotel offers a warm welcome and the chance to eat regional food and also boasts a "Pub Anglais " in which to take pre-dinner drinks. 

Chateau Colbert

From Combourg the cars travel the 136 mile distance to Maulevrier in the Loire Atlantique, where they will spend three nights at the luxurious, three star Chateau Colbert which will be a perfect "back drop" for the old vehicles. The standards in this beautiful establishment are particularly high.

 

The Chateau is furnished with antiques, has retained its historic features including marble fireplaces and magnificent staircases and has an exciting history.  Reception rooms are named "Colbert" "Pompadour", "Soflet" and "Louis XVI". (In fact the sphinxes in the "Cour d'honeur" have the faces of the famous Mesdames Pompadour and du Barry"). 

 

The Chateau is famous for its magnificent gardens which include an oriental garden open to thHotel  De La Ferrieree general public. 

 

Maulevrier and the Chateau are close to Nantes, Chôlet, Poitiers with its Futuroscope, Puy du Fou and the vineyards of Anjou and Muscadet.  The three day stay should provide a good chance to enjoy the region. 

 

From Maulevrier the club  will travel 88 miles to Chateaubriant staying overnight at Hotel De La Ferriere before returning to St Malo and a return to Guernsey.

On 23rd September, we held a weekend away for our regular business clients who were transported to Pleneuf Val André for  36 holes of golf at the Pleneuf Val André links.  This included a picnic lunch. Dinner was enjoyed on the Saturday with an overnight stay and breakfast at the Grand Hotel du Val André, followed by Sunday lunch.  This was great fun and this event or similar will be repeated next year.

Paris

Our Paris trips have proved very popular. We organise travel which can be by ferry and then high speed train with arrival by the afternoon of the day you set off! Our customers have gone to Pop Concerts, visited Disneyland Resort Paris, gone on shopping excursions or have simply enjoyed the romantic and beautiful city.

Closer to Home

Brittany, being close to the islands is always a popular destination and some Jersey people refer to Saint Malo as the "thirteenth Parish." and many customers have enjoyed staying closer to home in Brittany. Our trip to the 2006 Dinan Fete de Remparts was greatly enjoyed. Many have enjoyed staying  in a most picturesque and romantic Chateau which stands in beautiful countryside a short distance from some of Brittany's most charming towns and have luxuriated in the sophistication and high standards combined with charm and ambience - all  brought together by the talented artist and chef who owns the hotel. 

Many people this year have gone on inter island and England breaks. We have organised a variety of short breaks and longer ones, to the other Channel Islands.  We organised everything including hire cars in all locations except Sark where travel is by horse and cart, bicycle or on foot!

 

As always, we thank all our customers for their loyalty and are delighted at the successful outcome of the breaks,  tours and occasions we have organised.  I. Travel would also like to thank the ferry companies, airlines, hoteliers, restauranteurs and location organisers who have fulfilled their promises for us and made Channel Islanders' holiday dreams come true.
