A not-to-be-missed event for car lovers, the Traversée de Paris estivale is back! After several successful editions, this true celebration of mechanics and nostalgia will finally take to the streets of the capital for an 18th edition that promises to be full of color and surprises. Take a seat along this magical itinerary and open your eyes wide – you’re sure to catch a glimpse of some exceptional models!
A leap through time and eras
A not-to-be-missed gathering for collectors and lovers of fine automobiles, the Traversée de Paris summer event will be punctuated by the strolling of over 700 vehicles from all eras through the bays of the City of Light. Each edition has its own surprises in store, and the summer 2025 event is sure to be no exception. From the 20s to the 90s, you’ll be able to admire dozens and dozens of iconic models from manufacturers all over the world. As usual, this event also promises to be a great opportunity to come across some extremely rare cars, sold in very limited numbers or from discontinued brands.
A place of honour for the most beautiful vehicles
While the route will start as usual at dawn from the Château de Vincennes, it will be revealed on D-Day by means of a route book. And at the end of the day, there’ll be a traditional, convivial picnic.
Collectors, there’s still time to register your vehicle and take part! If you’re still a spectator, all you have to do is set up alongside one of the stages, or climb aboard one of the vintage buses in the procession. Either way, you can book your tickets here!
