Dear John
Thank you for bringing this Micro Meet at Gratibus to our attention.
As I will be heading for Dunkerque from Reims on Sunday 7th Sept it looks as if I will have no excuse but to visit the Micro Meet and compare it with the French National Bubblecar and Scooter Rally. I will just have to book a later ferry!!!! Ho Hum
Well spotted. Any other takers.

Dear John
I have just returned from my Road trip across France and on the way back I found the village of Gratibus and attended their event.
The vehicles that were on show were mostly Triporters and Poirier's with 1 Berkley T60, 1 Isetta, 1 Bond, 1 Tomcar, 1 Socotri Rhonson 1 Mochet, and an 1100cc D'yrsan, a total of 20 vehicles in all. The rest of the event was a glorified car boot sale, but at least it was free. It is a shame that some of them had not come to the National event a week earlier.
The French seem to like their old cars and motorcycles, but seem reluctant to go to rallies.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
