Go retro in the French countryside

RetroScapade

Sounds bliss, driving through the French Ardennes’ rolling countryside in a Citroen 2CV. RétroScapade has today launched a service where you can hire the restored old car, an Ami 8 or Renaut 4L for a day, weekend or week.

Various packages are available including a one-day “Vallées des Légendes” from €159 (£135), with an option to include time at some of the Meuse Valley’s top attractions, or a separate e-bike ride along the TransArdennes Green Track.

Simple four-hour tours are also available, from €99 (£84). RétroScapade aims to also offer tailor-made packages – including accommodation in everything from tree-houses through to boutique hotels in castles; food-and-drink, from picnic baskets to leading restaurants and guided tours.

Cars can either be picked-up from RétroScapade in Domaine de la Motte in Signy-le-Petit, or delivered to train stations or hotels for collection.
