Short Breaks

 

Many of our clients have substantial family commitments which prevent them from taking too much time out of the country to enjoy some driving.

As a consequence, we have introduced a variety of products that allow you to enjoy some of the fabulous driving on offer in Europe,  even if you are short on time.

Please note: If none of the places we have picked, or the hotels or timeframes suit your requirements, please contact us as we would be delighted to help in any way we can.

 

FRANCE - Rich in culture and some of the most picturesque landscapes in Europe, France is an ideal destination if you are short on time. The Eurotunnel crossing only takes 35 minutes and with several crossings a day, you can be in France with the minimum of fuss and at a time that suits your schedule. Within 2 hours of leaving Calais, you could be relaxing on a terrace with a drink in your hand either overlooking the ocean, or charming parkland and vineyards in Champagne country.

GERMANY - From the Mosel wine valley and the Eiffel mountains to the lustrous Black Forest and the Rhine Valley, Germany has much to offer even if you are constrained by time. Within 6 hours, you can be in the Black Forest in one of our favourite hotels enjoying breathtaking views over the Rhine. The Nurburgring is 4 hours from Calais with the vibrant City of Cologne nearby. There is a large selection of things to see and do whether you are into gastronomy, motorsport, wine or culture.

ITALY - Home to the supercar industry, notably Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati and Pagani, as well as some of the most beautiful driving in Europe, Italy is also renowned for its excellent food and quality wine. Often  overlooked, Bologna (or La Grassa) is a haven for gastronomic food and is the perfect base for exploring nearby Venice, Lake Garda, Florence and the Amalfi coast. Alternatively, we recommend Milan, situated about one hour from Lake Como and the foothills of the Italian Alps.

MONACO - For the more adventurous, Monaco is just under 2 hours away from London by plane. Choose from one of our hotels located in the centre of Monaco or the stunning setting of St Paul de Vence. The Alpes Maritimes are on your doorstep allowing you to retrace some of the fabulous roads used in the Monte Carlo Rally in years gone by as well as the opening sequences of the James Bond film, Goldeneye.
