Update : We have 11 deposits , but still need 12 to make the event go ahead ! If we get the 12 over the line, the price per van drops €100 , IF we get to 20 vans.
We are arranging the 2025 Rally to South East France near Lyon
I have been in discussions with Marie in person at the NEC and by email trying to arrange an interesting break for us all at her Campsite..
The basic plan is: June 20th -26th 2025 5 nights , your own pitch, ehu, showers ,loo and on site Restaurant.
Marie Suggests:
‘“Here’s what I propose – for a base of 24 people, i.e. 12 crews – 5 nights
20-6 Day 1:Arrival welcome drink & dinner at the campsite
21-6 Day 2: Day in the Beaujolais villages by bus. ( tastings !) (see dogs below)
22-6 Day 3: Walk around the lake with stops , and picnic lunch typical of the region. Yes the Famous C’est si Bon style picnic !
23-6 Day 4: Day in Lyon with guide (bus) / lunch not included
24-6 Day 5: Day off + farewell dinner .
25-6 departure
Price 590€ / crew
If we had 20 crews, or 40 people, the price would drop to 480€/crew.””
So , now over to you , I hope to be able to confirm the booking by the end of January 2025 (please!)
Yes I have a list of interested parties BUT it is not the official list and from past experience , I am sorry but I will be asking for a £83 (currently apx 99.91 Euro ) non refundable deposit to secure a place.
Dogs and buses …
“It’s always complicated, but a small dog that fits in a basket is fine, or a dog for a disabled person.
We can also look into a dog-sitting solution.
See you soon
Marie”
As you may have seen , IF we can get 20 vans , the overall price drops to 480€ per van !! However we need to get past 12 vans to confirm the booking.
My initial list had 14 vans , so just a reminder , if we cant get a 12van s minimum , then we will not be able to proceed .
Extra days by direct arrangement with Marie.
