One of the great attractions about the chateau of Chenonceau is that it spans the river Cher. Its feet are in the river and on a still sunny day the reflection of the chateau in the water is truly beautiful.

About Our Cars

The cars we use for our tours are Citroen Traction Avant 11Bs, a car designed in 1934 and built almost unchanged until 1957. Célestine was built in 1953, and Claudette in 1956

You will be amazed at how comfortable they are, and how much attention they attract. When it is parked a Traction Avant is the centre of attention, and people are always happy to see such an iconic car in good condition and being used. We have had many conversations with strangers about the glory days of motor touring.

We invite you to relive the fun of those days with us and our special cars.
