There are these things you’ve always wanted to do, and once you’ve done them, you want to do them over and over again. Driving a classic Porsche 911 through the French countryside is one of those memorable things, and I have to say, it can be a very, very addictive.

It was early June 2014, and I had some spare time left to make a trip to the south of France with my 1972 911. Since my better half had things to do in Italy concerning a cooking workshop—and told me to go and do something fun too—I didn’t hesitate for a second.

Last year I did our so-called Run to the Hills with my German buddy Daniel Schaefer from Heckmotorsportwagen. This year we had a hard time to plan things together because of our busy schedules, so I decided to do this tour as a lone wolf. Four days out of my busy agenda should be just enough to do this.
