Castelnau-d'Estrétefonds: a memorable tribute to the icons of Citroën

Diving into the crunchy world of a tribute to Citroën, Castelnau-d'Estrétefonds is preparing to celebrate its automotive glories as it should. Imagine the picture: a pastel village transformed into an amusement park for motor enthusiasts, chrome lovers, and nostalgia seekers. Yes, this little town is going to become the Mecca for fans of Citroën Automobiles with an exhibition that promises to be as flamboyant as a DS under the spotlight of a 60s movie.

The Citroën DS: A work of art for 70 years

Ah, the Citroën DS, or how to make a car look like a spaceship while appearing to be a masterpiece. It’s no surprise that this car is still praised, much like the latest single from your favorite band, even if you mocked their last album. On June 28, the association "Au fil des temps, Histoire et légendes" will bring this beauty back to life, led by enthusiasts who know every curve and every rivet of this iconic piece.

The legendary 2 CV: Simplicity elevated to art

Let's not be lenient: the 2 CV is a legend, but it’s also the car that proved an automobile doesn’t need to be ostentatious to be revolutionary. With more charm than most contemporary actors, this car has become a symbol of freedom. While roaming the streets of Castelnau, one by one, aficionados will have the opportunity to rediscover its spirit in rides through a historical heritage that is not ready to be devoured by the reign of the modern SUV.

Activities: A buzzing program

Dusting off old memories with a circuit of pedal karts for children while admiring classic cars, that’s what awaits visitors. Just blow a bit on the crust of nostalgia and let yourself be drawn into a concours d’élégance where each car presents its best face, often accompanied by sketches that are funnier than the ads for electric vehicles that are everywhere today.

A blend of genres

Imagine a flair of Citroën Heritage intertwining with a lively and vibrant festival of music. A party where food trucks, the pleasant murmur of conversations, and the scent of fresh fries tease your senses while you discover the emblematic models of yesteryear. Expect the village to become a place where the old reminisce about their youth, and the young take selfies with cars that were once considered futuristic in their time, much like what some now consider electric bikes.

At the Crossroads: Recognition and Passion

While it’s impossible to talk about Citroën Events without mentioning those who allowed these vehicles to shine on the road, this gathering is a true tribute. From Citroën Classic to Citroën Sport, each model tells a story, witnessing an automotive art that, hopefully, will never fade into oblivion, unlike that good old rock from yesteryear. And deep down, who doesn’t feel a bit like a legend when climbing into a 2 CV, just for fun?
