Tour de Canard

Autumn is beautiful in our part of the world, with plenty of tree-lined avenues, turning leaves on the vines and the scent of woodsmoke curling in the air.

Before winter bites, enjoy the last of the autumn sunshine:

Had a wonderful day out in the grey 2CV - a surprise for my wife. Riberac market in the morning and an afternoon down at la Grand Étang de La Jemaye. Took a slow potter back up to Aubeterre with a few photo opportunities on the way. A great little car to drive - and such fun!

Here are some happy memories with past customers. Please message us your own happy memory photos and videos from your 2CV holiday with Tour de Canard so that we can share them on this page.

Un grand “merci” to Matthew Hampton from UK Newspaper, The Times, who wrote “Happiness is a Dordogne road trip in a vintage Citroën 2CV”, an article that was published on Friday.

Of course, we agree with his sentiment 😉

If you're looking for a day-trip idea that's not too far from Tour de Canard HQ, how about the beautiful Lac Jemaye? It's situated in an ancient forest in the Dordogne.

A 35 minute drive away, it's a perfect spot for a swim and picnic and with plenty of footpaths, you can walk around its perimeter, spotting wild animals and birds as you go.

Nous adorons le Périgord mais il est vrai que la mer manque souvent aux enfants, là c est parfait, l eau est plutôt chaude, le sable fin est un plus c est clair. Le parking et l acces sont gratuits ce qui n est pas...Plus

We're very happy to receive this letter from a recent customer:

'As promised, I've attached some photos of the 2CV - it was such a great little car. It travelled to Margaux, Sarlat, Rocamadour and Perigueux and went so well in 42 degree heat and in the rain... quite a feat for any car, let alone a lady who has been around the block a few times.

We really enjoyed our holiday in France, and staying at Les Chambres de CoCo was a highlight - Joanne and Hayden are lovely, and the accommodation was superb.

My apologies for the huge megabyte file - the photos are the culprits.

All the very best,
J'

This Thursday, our home town of Aubeterre opens up for the summer night market.

Just one of the many things to do here in the summer months.

Merci encore."

"Thoroughly enjoyed our day renting one of these 2Cv’s - couldn’t stop smiling the whole time it was so much fun and the lovely Marianne made it so easy to organise whilst on our holiday in the beautiful French countryside." Louise.

26/08/2018

Well what fantastic coverage for us by Sawday's! They say:

"For a car that was designed to carry ‘four people and 50kg of potatoes’ the rural interior of southwest France provides a fitting destination for our road trip."

We're pleased that Lois enjoyed her adventure.
