A properly grand tour

2005 Maserati 4200GT

- 

WITH SUMMER ALMOST over, we at last managed an all-too-short driving holiday, discovering the Val de Loire region of France over seven days in our 2005 Maserati Cambiocorsa. That the Loire is one of the greatest wine-producing areas of the country is, of course, pure coincidence.

It rained most of the time. Even so, from our hotel in Amboise we were within easy motoring reach of four châteaux, two vineyards and one motor museum. As to be expected, every street in town also led to a starred restaurant.
