It was in the magnificent setting of the Château de Sully-sur-Loire that we hosted the 43rd IVCA rally from Wednesday May 28 to Sunday June 1, 2025, the fifth organized in France. Thanks to the 360 people who participated!
Sully-sur-Loire is a charming little town of 5,000 inhabitants in the heart of France , it is the gateway to the famous Loire Valley , a UNESCO World Heritage Site and universally known for its exceptional castles, both in number and quality (Chenonceau, Chambord, Blois, Chaumont, Brézé, Azay-le-Rideau, Amboise, Cheverny, Villandry, etc.)
Following Les Ulis in 1982, Blois in 1988, La Chaussée-Saint-Victor in 1999 and La Ferté-Imbault in 2011, in 2025 the IVCA Rally returned to the banks of the Loire. The charming town of Sully-sur-Loire is the gateway to the Loire Valley. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and renowned for its exceptional castles: Chenonceau, Chambord, Blois, Chaumont, Brézé, Azay-le-Rideau, Amboise, Cheverny, Villandry, etc. The riverside riding is a treat.
The castle grounds hosted the most extravagant cycle jumble. Machines and components so fine and so rare! So many of them too. The evening saw our concours d'elegance hosted beneath trees.
The Loire was on fine form for our Grand Parade of historic machines. We received a warm welcome in the Blareau Hall located at the eastern end of the grounds. It was from here the racing was hosted. Blareau Hall was the ideal venue for dining and hosting the racing and distance ride
