Reims - Epernay

Epicurean weekend among the vines

With this roadtrip, I'm taking us to discover this region that I particularly appreciate for its landscapes, its champagne and also its gastronomy. The weekend is organized in collaboration with Léa Crusel, founder of the store My Pilot Collection specializing in the sale of exceptional automobile collectibles around arts & crafts. And, as with every UNXPECTED road trip, there'll be plenty of great encounters to punctuate the weekend:

  • Christophe, creator of a Champagne brand for Gentlemen Drivers &... artist, will welcome us on his land to discover not only his champagne house but also his one-of-a-kind automotive artist's furniture.
  • Jean-Philippe, a well-known saddler among Porsche classics enthusiasts, has refurbished the interiors of several 911 RS 2.7s from the Club RS de France and a magnificent 911 2.4 S targa "Berlutti" sold in 2019 at Sotheby's. He will tell us about the restorations in progress.

 

This trip promises to be a unique experience for Porsche enthusiasts. and automotive arts and craftsBut also for all those who love the Champagne region and want to discover little-known places and make unforgettable encounters.

Gueux circuit

Les Amis du Circuit de Gueux is an association with three main aims: to maintain the legend of the circuit, to safeguard its infrastructure, and to welcome vintage vehicles and all circuit enthusiasts to the site. We'll be stopping off at the site to learn about the history of the Grand Prix de la Marne and the many races that took place there until 1969.

Christophe and I drew up the road books for this weekend in the middle of the vineyards. But at UNXPECTED, we like the unexpected, and these itineraries will be interspersed with stops to discover the local heritage.
