Servicing Our Classic Cars in the Loire Valley

Claudette and Célestine, our classic tour vehicles, are more than 60 years old, so they take a lot of maintenance. Luckily we have a great specialist mechanical team that we can call on, who love Citroen Traction Avants, and know exactly what to do. If you too have a love of old cars, book a special tour of the Loire Valley with us in an old Citroen.

These days the reproduction brake drums are not so perfectly manufactured, so we've had the ones on Claudette skimmed to ensure they are perfectly round and not causing brake shudder.
