Even if you’re not a fan of fast cars, you have to admit that the presence of a vintage car at a wedding often has a wow factor.\nI saw this for myself at my very first wedding at Ch\u00e2teau de Crazannes on July 30, 2022.\nThere, in the driveway of the Ch\u00e2teau du Chat Bott\u00e9, purred a beautiful cream-colored Burton.\nBefore long, she became the sole focus of my lens and the audience, who relished every stroke of the gas pedal.\nIn retrospect, I realized that many of my best wedding photos had been taken during that suspended moment when the beauty of a dress, a face, a moment, a light, mingled with the bulging forms of this little jewel mounted on four wheels. <\/p>\n\n

Roots, country, chic or classy, every wedding has its own car.<\/h3>\n\n

This famous Burton, which contributed so much to the success of my first marriage,<\/a> was easy to find,<\/a> as its owner had the ingenious idea of emblazoning its sides with the name of his sign: “31 avenue de la gare”. And a visit to his website<\/a> reveals that the Burton is just one of the specimens that populate his garage in Lussant, near Rochefort.\nA dozen or so cars are waiting to be taken for a spin, and there’s something for everyone.\nMehari, Dodoche, Z3 Cobra, Burton… There’s bound to be a car to suit your style, whether you’re planning a roots, country, chic or classy wedding.\nAnd there’s no need to break the bank to treat yourself.\nAt a weekend budget of \u20ac300, you can have a Burton, a Mehari or a 2CV.\nAnd hot photos! <\/p>\n\n

Denis, a super-friendly landlord<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

As I’ve just told you, I knew his cars before I knew Denis.\nAnd I haven’t regretted my efforts to find out who’s behind this collection, which is as sympathetic as it is improbable.\nAfter selling his business two years ago, Denis decided to invest in classic cars to “meet nice people”.\nI really appreciate the human project behind this activity, which is devoid of mercantile ambitions (just look at the prices he charges).\nAnd I like even more the idea that Denis is not an old car enthusiast as one might expect.\nAs for the enigmatic name of his business (31 avenue de la gare), I’ll leave it to you to ask him about its origins. <\/p>\n\n
