Hi John,
I can't remember whether I've told you this already, but, in case I haven't, I just thought
I'd confirm - I'd rather not actually drive if at all possible. I've never
driven a left-hand drive car, and I suspect driving a vintage model isn't
the time to start!
Hope that's OK,
Claire

No problem Claire. There will be two people in each car. You'll be doing all of the sightseeing!

Hi everyone,
Here's the skinny, Francis confirmed for the time and pick-up: Gare Riquier train station in Nice at 9:30 am. Please be on time so we don't get held up!
There has been one tiny modification: the itinerary we've chosen is a little more expensive (restaurant and distance) so in order to keep the price the same (€79), we are going to have a "three-course luxury catered picnic" with wine, dessert, and coffee instead of a restaurant.

I'm really sorry to inform everyone at the last minute, but I just found out this weekend. Francis assured me that it is an excellent picnic that is just as good as a restaurant. ▲ Collapse

There are three cars going from Aix to Nice on Saturday night and there are ten of us. Right now, I have 5 people in my car. Marie and Moira, will you have a spare seat in your car so we won't be so cramped in mine?
Thanks!

We're driving to Nice early Sunday morning, not Saturday night, so can't help you there, I'm afraid. There may be one other person coming with us in fact (not doing the roadshow), so that makes four already.

I think I haven't quite understood how this is working. For the pow-wow we all meet at the Gare Riquier Nice for 9:30 (Shouldn't be a problem as we will be arriving Sat. evening. What I don't get is the bit from Aix to Nice (we leave the road show cars in Aix? How do we get our cars there?) and if we have room in my car (it's just me and Gino - so there would be another two or three seats, depending on how cramped people are willing to be).

| Saturday, not Sunday | Oct 29, 2007 |
Sorry Marie,
I wrote Sunday in my last message and I meant Saturday (I edited the post). I was talking about the drive to Nice after the conference ends Saturday night.
For the Roadshow, we'll meet at the train station Sunday morning (if you take the train or bus, we'll drop you off at your hotel after the Roadshow). Then we go off on our tour all day. We'll get back to Nice around 17:30. We'll park the roadshow cars and drop people off at their respective hotels so they can ... See more Sorry Marie,

I hope this is clear. If anyone has any questions, feel free to call during the week 06 78 52 41 76 or be sure to ask me at the conference.
See you Friday!

That makes more sense! Sorry, but I am not going to the conference on Friday or Sat. Will arrive in Nice only on Sat. evening.

Hi John,
I know it's a bit late in the game but I am wondering if there is still room in any of the cars? The only problem is I would have to find a way back to Aix on Sunday night to catch my train very early the next morning to Paris. Do you know what time the last train/bus leaves from Nice? Also, I would need to hitch a ride with someone to Nice on the Saturday night... Sorry to complicate things at this late stage. I fully understand if it's not doable. thanks, Diane

| Always room for... | Oct 30, 2007 |
You know what they say, Diane, there is always room for one more!
I think the only problem we are going to run into would be with the transport issue from Aix to Nice. I don't have any more room in my car and the other car coming from Aix is full as well. I have three solutions:
1. Check out train and bus schedules to see if you can't get to Nice and back that way. We are going to be dropping Attila off at the Cannes train station around 4 pm on Sunday so we could drop you off as w... See more You know what they say, Diane, there is always room for one more!

2. Rent a car, take one of the 5 in my car and have him/her chip in for gas/highway tolls.
2. Try and convince someone at the conference to come to Nice for the Roadshow, preferably someone with a car!
I hope you'll be able to make. Let me know what you decide to do... ▲ Collapse

| Hotel in Nice | Oct 30, 2007 |
Thanks John. I am looking into the train option now which I think might be doable. I am also trying to see if I can change my ticket to leave directly from Nice Monday morning so I don't have to get back to Aix for Sunday night. This of course would mean I would be staying two nights in Nice. I know you mentioned something about negotiating a group rate at a couple of hotels.. can you send me the link? The four star may be a bit out of my league but a two or three star would be great... thanks!

I'm going to try to book something today. I'm leaving in a few hours and will be in transit most of tomorrow so I guess I will see you in Aix!

I just received a message from Francis. He would prefer that we meet at the Juan-les-Pins train station instead of Riquier in Nice. Francis has a group on Saturday and all of the cars will be there (logistics easier for them). Please call me to confirm that you got this message +33 6 78 52 41 76.
This is going to work out better as we won't have to drive the convertibles on the highway to get to the circuit starting point.
