Finally got round to sorting out a few photos. Apologies for #308 not looking quite right but I put my 17" wheels on for the trip.
After a horrible trip across getting caught up in "Operation Stack" we raced down to Reims for the first night. Second day we took a leisurely drive down to the Morvan/Burgandy region using back roads. First stop was the old Formula 1 circuit of Gueux.
The other car in this photo is also a Brit, the French just like to race along the long straight
A really atmospheric place last used in the 1970s
We only had a day in the Morvan but we will return as it has fantastic roads & scenery & very few tourists - mostly Belgians & Dutch in big diesels.
We spent the rest of the holiday based in the Jura at Chateau-Chalon which is justifiably designated as one of France's most beautiful villages.
Just down the road is Baume-les-Messieurs (Cheddar on steroids) with its caves & great walks, we even saw an eagle here.
The roads in the Jura are built for the Zed & with little traffic about we had great fun , #308 was sounding great in the gorges 
We had another beautiful walk up to the Pic d'Aigle (with Mont Blanc in the distance) & then to the Bellvedere des Quatre Lacs.
Another thing I like about France - empty & free car parks.
On the way home we stayed the night at a farm B&B near the Belgium border where they breed donkeys. A really lovely place where one of the locals took a fancy to #308. The day before he'd had an AC Cobra to play with
#308 had such a great reception can't imagine what it would be like with a convoy of Zeds.
We are already planning next year's trip.
