COMPLETE SELF-DRIVEN VACATION PACKAGES –
including the classic Jaguar car and the accommodation

Picture the scene: a Classic Jaguar car touring unspoilt countryside in the sunny Charente Maritime region of France. No this isn’t a flashback to the sixties (when these cars were new!) but a great idea for a nostalgic classic car break.

We offer you our superb accommodation, our classic Jaguar cars, and together with our local knowledge and route maps, we will lead you to an experience to remember for many years to come.

Visit Cognac distilleries, vineyards and beautiful sandy beaches by Classic Jaguar car driving some of the best, and for the most part, deserted, touring roads in France. Here the word “rush hour” has yet to be invented. If this sounds like your idea of motoring heaven (or the Classic Jaguar dream of someone close to you) then read on…..

Arrange your flight into La Rochelle (regular flights from Stansted, Birmingham, Bristol and Southampton) and we will meet you at the airport. In just 35 minutes you will arrive at Les Capucines – a restored traditional Charentaise style farmhouse dating back to the XVIIth century. Settle in to one of our comfortable and well equipped self-catering gites and then collect the keys to the classic Jaguar car you have chosen for your holiday.


		The “Classic” Jaguar MkII 240 from 1968 – An icon of the 1960’s – Chrome, Walnut and Leather all around, it represents the truest concept of a luxury- sporty saloon. Grace, Pace and Space – as all the adverts said! Choose this car for effortless stylish cruising. This particular car is a true “original” and has been owned by the same family since new and has only covered some 36,000 miles.

		The “Modern Classic” Jaguar XJS Celebration Convertible 2+2 from 1996. The XJS is Jaguars most successful sports car ever and was launched in 1975. To “Celebrate” its 21 years in production, and just prior to the launch of the XK8, a special last-of-the-line model was offered with the 4.0 litre engine. This example is “as new” and looks superb with its Spruce Green paintwork and Oatmeal trim. Destined to become a modern collectible choose this 2 + 2 if you want the wind in your hair!

We’ve put together a very attractive package which includes:

Accommodation in our “Grenier” gite which sleeps 2 (see separate details on our main site)
Self-drive classic Jaguar car rental
Comprehensive Insurance and Breakdown cover

We love this part of France and we are long time classic Jaguar enthusiasts ourselves. We thought it was selfish not to share this – so we are offering you our cars and some of our local knowledge! Now check out our tariff and decide when you want to come, and then the difficult bit - choose which car!!!
