French Car Festival
20 October 2013 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
This venue for this year’s French Car Festival is Seaworks Maritime Precinct at 82 Nelson Place, Williamstown, from 9.30am to 3pm. Enter via Ann Street. Entry is $10 per car, with passengers. Pedestrians will pay a gold coin donation.
As there are no plans to have separate areas for different makes, it would be great to arrive in a group. So from 9am we will form a convoy at Donald McLean Reserve, The Avenue, Spotswood (Melway 41, K12), leaving at 9.15am. This reserve is just off the West Gate Freeway.
The French Car Festival venue offers raffles, live music, cooking demonstrations, wine tasting food and drink stalls, an on-site tavern, merchandise tents, seaplane flights and a great outlook.
Major prizes will be presented by the honorary consul-general for France, Mrs Myriam Boisbouvier-Wylie and Fletch from Classic Restos will be there to document the event.
There will be special awards for “barn find” and “restoration in progress”.
The event will also be the PCCV concours, so make sure your Pug is looking its best.
For those whose vehicles are so precious that they need to be under cover, there will be parking sport than can be reserved. And the cars can be left there on the afternoon of the day before the big event, by arrangement with the organisers.
This year’s French Car Festival is organised by the Renault Car Club of Victoria.
