Magneto Tours: Château Edition

Location From the UK to the Dordogne in France
Date 26 – 30 June 2025

Join Magneto for a stunning drive experience from the UK to the Dordogne in France, staying in historic châteaux along the way, in June 2025. 

There will be culinary experiences, plenty of time to sample the luxury accommodation – including golf, pool, Cognac and wine-tasting – and the local area, as well as interesting planned routes on the region’s best roads. 

The destination is the Club des Auto Chateau de Sermet, a little slice of petrolhead heaven in the beautiful countryside of the Dordogne.

With full route support, you’ll be able to drive your classic car on pre-planned routes, without the pressure of a competitive rally. After the tour, you can drive home or have your car transported for you – plus there’s car storage available at the destination should you wish to return at a later date.

The cost is £8250 per car (for two people sharing). Return driving routes, hotel recommendations and private plane bookings are also available.
