Aah, driving in the South of France! Long avenues lined with plane trees, quiet roads winding through the hills and the smell of the garrigue coming through the open window of your shiny 2CV, your roaring Triumph or your iconic Beetle Cabriolet! Here are some reviews of this sepia coloured experience which you can find in Vaucluse. Don’t forget your straw hats!
2cv en Provence Location
Frank and Florence are based in Saumane, near Isle sur la Sorgue, a central location for visiting all the iconic sites in Provence, the Alpilles mountains, Mont Ventoux and the Luberon. This couple, born and raised in Provence, have nine 2CVs for hire in bright or pastel colours, with names to match their personality or history. Jeannette, Mauresque, Pistache …
In the 70s, they transported the bread, goat’s cheese… or Uncle David. Now they love to drive their passengers on the quiet roads they have travelled so often and race each other – in a relaxed fashion- for company rallies.

Laurent Estibal is a 2CV enthusiast, and from his love Deuche-Forever, his rental company of 2cvs with or without chauffeur, was born.
He has restored his seven 2cVs himself. Located on the outskirts of the Luberon in Provence, at l’Isle sur la Sorgue, a paradise for lovers of antiques and a place of the art of living in Provence.
All of his 2CVs have been modernised for a more comfortable ride and greater reliability, the bodywork is in remarkable condition, and you will be in a hurry to fold down the soft top hood in order to breath in the open air and scents of the Provençal scrubland, take in the spectrum of colours and hear the song of the cicadas.
