Hotel Weekend

There are quite a few of us living in France, and I wondered if there would be any support for an annual hotel weekend, perhaps during late September/early October?

A suitable venue would be somewhere in central France, easily reached from anywhere, such as the Hotel du Parc at Salbris, on the D2020. off the A71 autoroute sortie 4.

Any takers?

It works if you copy and paste it into your browser, John.

UK satnavs seldom seem to accept non-UK post codes, but French post codes are not like UK ones anyway - our code, for example, covers at least eight villages!

October weather around Salbris is usually quite good, but for a longer (2-3 days?) stay I would look for somewhere else, as apart from Orleans the area is a bit low on  interest for most people.

One very interesting area is around Koblenz, and I know of a really good hotel in the area, but maybe at 300+ miles from Calais it's a bit too far for our members!  We can discuss some options during our trip through the alps in July.

My time during Half Term is already accounted for, but it sounds like a god idea, which should attract members from the UK, if the price is right - any ideas?

Are the rates per room, or per person?

A good value hotel, with a coach trip to somewhere of culture, followed by lunch and a wine tasting, wouldn't fail!

The key to attracting a decent number of people seems to be arranging a leader to shepherd them from the UK, as so many BMWCC members have a passion for driving in convoy . . .
