This land of elegance and diversity invites you to explore its rich culture, iconic landmarks, and exquisite cuisine.

The Saga of France: A Legacy of Civilization

France's story is painted with the brushstrokes of time, from the prehistoric Lascaux caves to the grandeur of the Renaissance, and beyond to the modern-day Republic. It's a history filled with artists, warriors, and visionaries, all of whom have left indelible marks on the fabric of French society.

Paris: The Heartbeat of France

The City of Light beckons with its timeless charm. Paris, France's capital, is an anthology of artistic and architectural masterpieces, with the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and the Louvre Museum as its crowning jewels.

The Riviera: Azure Shores and Glitzy Glamour

Delve into the chic allure of the French Riviera. Nice, Cannes, and Saint-Tropez are synonyms for sun-drenched beaches, cultural festivals, and the sparkling Mediterranean.

Provence: A Tapestry of Lavender Fields and Ancient Ruins

Join us at travel.frogsfolly.com as we guide you through the cobbled streets, into the heart of French culture, and through the doorways of history.

<p>VILLENEUVE : les signes du temps qui passe. <br />
<br />
Le sort des villes de province. <br />
On sait pertinemment que la vie est ailleurs. <br />
Les jeunes actifs sont partis. <br />
Les maisons veillent avec cet espoir des personnes âgées qui attendent une visite de famille qui ne viendra pas. Tout est prêt au cas où.<br />
On se lève encore le matin, on met les habits propres, mais de-ci de-là apparaissent des signes de lassitude. De petits défauts d’entretien. <br />
A quoi bon enlever les toiles d’araignées. Refaire la peinture d’une porte. <br />
On vit ce sursis au jour le jour, par habitude.</p>

More than any other brand, Amilcar is inextricably linked to the epic story of cyclecars, which were all the rage in the early 1920s. The definition was simple: three or four wheels, two seats, less than 350 kg without accessories, and an engine smaller than 1,100 cc. The specific and advantageous tax regime, which was abolished in 1925, nevertheless allowed a large number of manufacturers and assemblers to flourish. Among the plethora of models produced, Amilcars quickly came out on top. The first Amilcar, the CC, was equipped with a 904 cm³ 4-cylinder side-valve engine and a 3-speed gearbox. It was followed by the C4 (long chassis) and the CS, which was a little more ‘sporty’. <br />
<br />
At the 1923 Paris Motor Show, the CGS (Grand Sport) made its debut. This new model was a great success, both commercially and in terms of sport, thanks in particular to its 1100 cc engine; it would be the brand’s greatest success. The car illustrated on these pages is one of these CGS models, restored from an original chassis, running gear and body (photos attached to the file). It is equipped with an M-type engine and has been upgraded with a differential axle, braking system and original CGS 4-speed gearbox. In good working order and sold with its custom-made covered trailer and a large set of parts, this Amilcar CGS, upgraded with CGS parts, is perfect for getting started in cyclecars</p>
