La Bonneville-sur-Iton: a 2025 meeting that honors classic Volkswagens

Ah, the town of Bonneville-sur-Iton, this charming little corner where one might believe that time has stopped, and yet, in 2025, it is not just a stroll in the past, but a true festival of nostalgia on four wheels. Here, we celebrate the Volkswagen classics as if they were the rockstars of the pavement, because who hasn’t dreamed of overtaking a Käfer with a sigh, thinking that, if it weren't another era, it could have been a romantic encounter in the middle of the road?

The masterpieces of automotive heritage

On June 14 and 15, the meadow of La Noé transforms into a true open-air museum, where each Combi and each Cox tells a story that even Bugatti or Porsche could not match. Why? Because these little wonders bring a simplicity and elegance that modern cars have all too often forgotten, trapped in their over-tech and lack of charm.

Time travel – help, my memories!

The enthusiasts of Volkswagen Classic gather, clad in vintage T-shirts, ready to engage in fierce competition: who has the best model from the 60s? They could rival gladiator battles, but with less blood and much more exhaust gas. It's almost moving - a mix of nostalgia and impeccable English smiling in admiration at the goodness of an air-cooled engine.

Where tradition meets modernity

Of course, it's not just old pots that make jam. At the heart of the celebration, we also find the spirit of contemporary Volkswagen. The rumors about the brand's electric model, with its promises of modernity, blend with the magic of a Combi that could really use a few touch-ups. A Skoda ready to meet its ancestor, a Lamborghini crossing paths with an Audi to chat about past and future times!

The rides and shows that go with it

And what would a meeting be without twilight rides and retro rock concerts? Imagine a Bentley in the spotlight that decides to honor the great Volkswagen while keeping a low profile. This weekend might just be the perfect time to slip between beautiful bodies and feel that collective frenzy that makes an entire generation vibrate. One can only admire this unusual friendship between Volkswagen and the younger generations, still convinced that a car is more than just a means of transportation.

All that’s left is to hope that this annual celebration is not disrupted by the capricious batteries of electric cars and that, soon, the Volkswagen Polo may suffer from old age in a world where the noise of the engine and the creaking of leather seats give way to digital tablets. But for now, in Bonneville, we live. We breathe. And above all, we await that epic moment where a simple honk could very well be the sweetest way to smile at a stranger, a legacy of the good old days.
