American Loire Valley Festival, Harleys@Luynes: 29-31 May

Yesterday's edition of La Nouvelle République reported that after several setbacks the Harley Davidson Rally, called the American Loire Valley Festival, will take place in Luynes at L'Espace des Varennes from 29 to 31 May. Luynes is on the north bank of the Loire about 12 kilometres west of Tours.

This will be the fifth edition. The festival was held every year from 2002 with a break last year. According to NR some 3000 bikers and their Harleys are expected, attracting around 10,000 visitors. However, this seems a pretty conservative estimate compared to the reports of the numbers at the previous editions of the festival attracted. Further details available here.
