TOURING AND EVENTS INTRO
Our Company, Grand Touring Charente, is a properly registered tour operator specifically created to arrange tours and events, especially based in this region of France, and with a bias towards classic motoring.
Touring Itineraries
We have created a range of tours on smaller attractive driving roads, especially ideal for older and open cars. These allow you to enjoy a circuit each day, short or longer, with a different theme, with easy driving, well-chosen visits and refreshment stops for a balanced holiday either in your own car, one of our classics for hire, or as a small personalised tour for several friends with their own cars.
These itineraries include:
- The Charente valley and Cognac
- A river tour on the Charente, with lunch
- Romanesque churches and the Knights of St John
- The Grande Champagne Cognac region
- The Atlantic coast, Las Rochelle & Ile de Ré
- Rochefort, Oysters at Marennes and Royan
- St Emilion, Pomerol and Cotes de Bourg and Blaye
- Medoc and the 1er cru Bordeaux Chateaux
- Limoges, Porcelaine and the Confolentais
- The Gastronomy and Prehistory of Périgord (Dordogne)
Historic Motor sport
Naturally we have access to the full annual; calendar of major Grand Touring Club events, in which Nick Brimblecombe remains closely involved, in conjunction with Thomas Brimblecombe and the team in the GTC’s Leicester office.
