Oh, & Carries just reminded me they have an awesome cocktail bar in that hotel!
Another vote for Epernay from us too, it’s only up the road from Reims & you
can drive through the vineyards to get there. A visit to one of the many
Champagne Houses is a must, & if you feel like pushing your luck a trip to the
old Reims circuit is good fun & great for pictures.
Lyon La Foret & Honfleur are both stunning & pretty easy to get to as another
couple of options.
All the best
Nick

Hi Rob
We’ve stayed at that hotel (obvs) & it’s brilliant!
Very modern, fantastic underground car park & just a few yards from all the
action.
Good choice.

Best Western Premier Hotel de la Paix
Looks very nice and is in the same chain as a place I stayed in Switzerland
last year which was lovely. This trip is predominantly to collect brownie
points from the wife, as I have gone from having no holidays this year to
convincing the kids they need a road trip (separate ones of course), so I've
got the wife coming to Reims next week, my Son the Nergurgring and daughter to
a nive French village of her choice as she's a keen photograher and wants to do
a little photoshoot. Then I have a Vineyard trip back to Reims with the wife
(again) with a few mates in other cars with their wives, all to score brownie
points so we can do another 6 day Euro Tour in September!
On the photoshoot one, does anyone have suggestions for locations in France I
can get to in 2-3 hours for the trip with my daughter? Would love to do Colmar
but it's 7 hours and I need these smaller trips to be a single overnight stay.
Reims is the obvious one but I'll already be there twice this year!
Anyone fancy helping with my first world problem???
Thanks

Looks like a 3 to me too.
Reims is beautiful, which hotel are you staying at Rob?

Double checked my plans and I'm in Reims in 2 weeks and my hotel is bang in the
middle of the emmission zone. It's a very small zone though, so for whatever
they are going to charge me, I'm gonna get my money's worth and try to drive
every road in the zone!

Hi all,
Am I right in thinking for a year 2000 Tuscan it's Euro 2 and 405g/km for CO2
emmissions?
Just filling the details in on this site: www.certificat-air.gouv.fr/demande

Crit’Air Certification France
Hi Mark.
I Googled it before my last post before I replied, but I haven’t bought
anything yet.
I was referring to the Crit’Air sticker that goes in the windscreen. I know
cars prior to 97 can’t apply but I have no idea re historics, as far as I could
see if it’s pre 97 you need to stay out of the zone.
You need your V5 document for the relevant car as it will show some info you
need to get the right certification.
As said, I haven’t gone into it in great depth yet but I do know several TVR
owners who have done it without issue.
All the best
Nick

Hi Nick
If the car was built before 97 it does not qualify for a Crit’Aire certificate.
Cars over 30 years can get an exemption as a historic but how do you apply.
You say it is only £3 for the required cert for life is this the Crit’Aire or
exemption cert.
Regards
Mark

Thanks Bob
There’s no doubt travelling anywhere in our cars is getting more difficult as
time goes by, particularly if you live or want to travel through a major city.
The good news is the required certificate in France only costs about £3.00 for
the lifetime of your car, plus the alternative route you mentioned is rather
pleasant, see attached.
For those travelling into Europe this year it’s worth investigating a Crit’Aire
sticker as the fine for not having one is a bit tasty if you get caught.
All the best

Nick, I expect you are all aware of this but in case it should have past you
by, if your car was registered before 1997 you cannot take it through Rouen if
your heading to Le Mans.
I will not qualify for a 3 certificate or better. In fact it won’t qualify for
any certification.
Will need to take the S3 via the western route and over the Pont de Brotonne
