For everything that has wheels

In 2014, more than 600 vehicles took part in the drive through and even more participants are expected for 2015.

Cars, motorcycles, buses, tractors, vans, bicycles and now also cleanly selected trucks will once again cross Paris together. All of these vehicles are at least 30 years old and represent the most diverse brands from all over the world.

For everyone

One reason why this classic car meeting is so successful is because everyone can take part. The drivers with their classic cars, those who have got hold of a ticket for a bus or even the countless spectators and interested people on the roadside who enjoy each of the very different vehicles. This special event is all about giving and sharing.

30km through Paris

All vehicles leave the Esplanade du château de Vincennes together at 08:00 in the morning to then chug 30 km through Paris.
