Rétromobile, the world's largest and most prestigious gathering of classic cars, is set to return to Paris Expo Porte de Versailles from January 28 to February 1, 2026. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the event, celebrating a half-century of automotive passion. The exhibition is expected to attract a record number of visitors, with over 146,000 people attending the previous edition in 2025.
This year's edition promises to be an extraordinary celebration of automotive history and passion. Visitors can expect to see iconic vehicles such as the DS, which has been a symbol of technological innovation and avant-garde design since its first appearance in 1955. To mark the 70th anniversary of this iconic model, Rétromobile and Matthieu Lustrerie have organized an unprecedented exhibition featuring more than ten emblematic models and prototypes of the brand.
Another highlight is the exploration of Adolphe Kégresse's innovative work. As an engineer visionary, Kégresse was responsible for numerous groundbreaking inventions, including the flexible chenille system. This invention enabled remarkable feats such as the legendary Black and Yellow Cruises organized by André Citroën. Visitors can learn more about this true polymath and his innovative ideas that inspired explorers to conquer extreme terrains.
The passion for motorcycles is also celebrated through Eric de Seynes' exhibition. As a key figure in the world of motocycling, de Seynes has significantly contributed to its growth through his engagement and expertise. The exhibition features 25 iconic motorcycles that reflect his journey and influence on the motorcycle world.
Formula One in France is another focal point with a display of French-flagged monopiles and engines from the 1960s to present day. This event will also feature live performances by renowned names from both past and present.
