The Long Table
Jersey to Saint-Émilion and back. Six days through western France, built around the roads, the stays and one properly long table.

Roads worth
leaving for.
Six friends' cars. Considered routes. Beautiful places to stop, and evenings designed to outlast the drive.

The Flat Six idea
The road is only
half the story.
Flat Six creates private, small-format road trips for friends in owner-driven flat-six cars.
We choose roads for rhythm rather than speed, hotels for the evening rather than merely the bed, and a group small enough that nobody becomes a convoy.

Tour sites are private working repositories for invited participants, with routes, stays, timings, documents and live updates in one place.

What survives the edit
Enough plan.
Plenty of air.
Small by design
Six cars is enough for energy and few enough for spontaneity.
Drive your own day
A roadbook removes friction. It never turns friends into a convoy.
Arrive somewhere worth staying
The hotel, the view and the table matter as much as the route there.
Nothing to prove
No timing points. No paddock theatre. No prize for arriving first.
Your hosts
Phil & Emma.
Friends first. Road-trip organisers second.
Flat Six started with a simple conviction: the best trips are not the biggest or the fastest. They are the ones with the right people, enough structure to feel effortless and enough freedom to find the better road.
Good roads. Better tables.
No stopwatch.
