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.
