American Legend - Lormaye 2016

Custom Bike in Lormaye
Lormaye is a small village near Nogent Le Roi in France not far from where I live.  It has a pretty clock tower (La Tour du Pilori) which was once part of an old church, and an American Festival that is held every year on May Day.   As part of this festival, called American Legend, they try and attract new and classic American cars and motorbikes plus some custom cars and bikes and other cars and bikes of interest, hence my interest.  I arrived somewhat late but there were still a few interesting vehicles on displays including the inevitable tractors as this is an agricultural region.  Here are a few pictures to give you a flavor of the event.  I hear afterwards that they had hundreds of Harley Davidson and American Classic Cars there earlier in the day; next year maybe!


Lormaye est un petit village près de Nogent Le Roi en France, pas loin de chez nous. Il y a un joli tour de l'horloge (La Tour du Pilori), qui faisait autrefois partie d'une ancienne église, et un festival américain qui se tient chaque année le 1er mai. Dans le cadre de ce festival, appelé American Legend, ils attirent de nombreuses voitures américaines classiques et des centaines de motos Harley Davidson. Je suis arrivé un peu en retard, mais il y avait encore quelques véhicules intéressants, y compris les tracteurs inévitables car ici c'est une région agricole. Voici quelques photos pour vous donner un aperçu de l'événement.
