The meeting point was at the  Musée Dufresne near Azay-Le-Rideau. This man is a retired Salvage Collector who gathered an incredible collection of antique machines and machinery

Then, it was cruising time in the countryside. As I was the local I was in charge of the organization. I designed the course to pass in front of 15 castles. The evening meeting point was near Villandry for the diner.
