Retro Festival de la Cote d'Opal - Marquise, France

Post by Chris_R »

This is an event with a difference that I have just discovered. The town of Marquise is situated in the Pas de Calais about mid-way between Calais and Boulogne just off the A16 Autoroute. Very easy to reach from the UK, just 20 minutes by Autoroute or 30 minutes by Route Domestique from the Eurotunnel terminal.
On Sunday 29th July 2018, 9am - 9pm the town puts on a '60s festival and bans all modern cars from the town, only classic cars are permitted.
A city emptied of its modern car to accommodate vintage vehicles. More than 150 volunteers in periode costumes. A 1960’s campsite re-enacted in a park with pond, concerts, exhibitions, vintage market, street performances, véhicles and period decor to dive you in 1960, that’s the Rétro Festival de la Côte d’Opale.

I haven't found the cutoff date for vehicles yet on their website but could be a fun event if anyone fancies a day out in France and dressing up at the same time!
