It all started with an email from a dear friend in France: “Come and drive the old route to St Tropez, Route Nationale 7.” They were organizing a vintage car rally from outside Aix-en-Provence where they make wine and live in a wonderful 18th century chateau. There is one thing about wine-making families in France, they know a lot of other wine-making families, so this trip promised some interesting cars and good wine discoveries. Our 1972 280SE Mercedes had just done a long trip through France, which was not without a few delays due to mechanical problems, so I was slightly apprehensive, however, my excitement at the prospect of a trip down the ‘old route’ to the south and St Tropez slightly blurred my vision of reality and we set off to meet our friends at the Domaine de Beaupré.
