The car
About this car in Lyon
Grignan, about two hours south of Lyon in the Drôme provençale, is a village crowned by a Renaissance château where Madame de Sévigné wrote her famous letters, and in late June and July the lavender fields around it turn the countryside purple.
Roof folded among the lavender, the 296 GTS runs quietly on battery through the village, then brings 830 hybrid horsepower to the rear wheels. Two seats.
Plan it for the warm months.
