Look What’s on the Cover of Michelin’s 30 Suggested Routes Through France
For anyone living in or visiting France and touring in a classic car, this French-language paperback guide, comprising 424 pages, presents 30 suggested routes through France, selected specifically for the particular qualities and unhurried pace of historic vehicles. What better way to convey the experience than to feature a Citroën DS Cabriolet on the book’s cover?
Over the decades, Citroën has created vehicles whose individual qualities practically invite travel: the unhurried perspective of the 2CV, the composed long-distance comfort of the DS and CX, or the grand touring character of the SM.
For anyone visiting France and touring in a classic car, the new guide is not intended as a conventional road atlas for classic-car drivers, but as an invitation to a different way of traveling. The itineraries lead not only along appealing roads, but also combine driving with the discovery of automotive and regional heritage. They range from day trips to journeys lasting a week or more and are complemented by historical background features that are intended to add further context to the individual routes, revealing the connections between vehicle culture, places and people.
In this way, Michelin continues a long-standing tradition of its own: mobility, orientation and the pleasure of traveling have always formed part of the company’s identity. What is especially appealing is that the volume does not treat the classic car as a museum object.
The book is available directly from L’Aventure Michelin for €35. It is also offered through the Fédération Française des Véhicules d’Époque (FFVE); at the time of publication, this was linked to a promotion including free delivery within metropolitan France and a Michelin-FFVE collector’s poster.
The title is additionally listed by French booksellers, including Fnac and Decitre, as well as by international online retailers. For orders to other countries, it is advisable to check the shipping terms offered by the respective supplier before placing an order.
