To achieve this, the two young entrepreneurs have a fleet of <strong>46 vintage vehicles<\/strong>These are mainly 2CVs, but also a DS. These are split between the two towns depending on the operation, or even moved by lorry for events requiring more than twenty 2CVs. \"\u00a0<em>This makes us <strong>able to go anywhere in France<\/strong>We can also provide vehicles on request, as was recently the case in Grenoble.
