French MINI Adventure

Last month we took a two week family holiday down to France in four MINIs. The roadster was an absolute blast on the mountain roads

My Cooper S Roadster & my mum's Cooper S Countryman outside our hotel, about half way down France.


My Grandparent's Cooper D Countryman with DRLs.




On the outskirts of the Verdon Gorge.


My sister's Cooper SD Countryman.


MINIs outside Monte Carlo Casino, Monaco




Another car built in England - the Mclaren MP4-12C.






Lots of classics in Monte Carlo.


Nighthawk thinking about taking a dip at our villa in Bargemon, France.




The Verdon Gorge - Europe's deepest gorge.






One of many amazing driving roads in the area.

WOW what a nice ride.

Your pictures, and video are super awesome cool....

The yellow Mclaren would be fun for a ride, I wouldn't be happy closed in though so I'll take a roadster any day...

I wonder if I can figure out how to teach my roadster to swim or fly..........

Those roads are something else!!

Oh yea your sister has a very nice graphic there........

I am soooo jealous . . . I want to go home . . .

I'm so biased but France truly has some of the most beautiful back country roads you can drive on.
In the back of my mind I'm thinking, tourist who only go to Paris have no idea what they are missing . . . I mean it!
