Office de tourisme Pays d'Angoulême - ED © Angoulême Tourisme Office de tourisme Pays d'Angoulême - ED © Angoulême Tourisme Le Circuit des Remparts Angouleme, Charente Each September the streets of Angouleme, set on a lofty bluff above the winding River Charente, become the stage for classic car races on a twisty circuit around the medieval city centre. The smell of high-octane petrol will fill your nostrils, the un-muffled sounds of veteran, vintage and classic racing cars will assail your ears, and you’ll strain your eyes to catch the national colours as the cars whizz past - blue for the French, red for the Italians, silver for the Germans and green for the Brits. Iconic marques like Bugatti, Bentley, Riley and Maserati will be on parade. First run in 1939, this magical event lapsed during the war years, returned in 1947 then dropped out of the calendar again in 1955 due to strict new safety regulations introduced by the motor sport’s international governing body. But in 1978, a group of enthusiasts brought the event back - with the great Argentinian racing driver Juan Manuel Fangio in attendance - and in 1983 the circuit was approved for classic cars. Running beside the city walls and just under a mile in length, the spectacular circuit has two sweeping bends, two right-angle bends and three hairpins. The event attracts hordes of competitors and huge crowds for a race that harks back to a heroic era of motor sports - expect a truly great ambiance and lots of fun. angouleme-tourisme.com 48 | The Good Life France The Good Life France | 49
