PRESENTATION
This two-film mini-series takes us into the heart of France’s Angevin and Touraine regions, on the banks of the Loire.
Set in the prestigious Loire valley with its châteaux, the films introduce us to automobile aficionados and classic car collectors, in the company of French specialist Olivier de Serres, who resides near the Château d’Amboise.
De Serres is the author of numerous books on the history of the automobile and French models.
He collects and restores classic cars, particularly the famous Citroën Traction-Avant.
Our guide, Olivier de Serres takes us to meet lovers of original models, like the Triumph TR, MG, Sunbeam Alpine, the XK140 convertible and Type E Jaguars, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Lotus Seven and Austin Healey.
Thanks to photograph and film archives, shots inside mechanic’s shops and magnificent mansions and historical sites, the voyage to Loire and Anjou is a magical trip to the land of the 4-wheel wonders.
