Volkswagen van enthusiasts are meeting near Évreux on June 14th and 15th

Attention Volkswagen enthusiasts: get ready to see the roads of Normandy turning into a true open-air museum. A gathering of VW enthusiasts is on the horizon, and there's no question of doing things halfway! On June 14 and 15, La Bonneville-sur-Iton will host the 8th Vintage Wagen Normandie meeting. An event that promises to thrill the hearts of fans of legendary vans.

The celebration of the Combi: 75 years and still as crazy!

Isn't it incredible? The legendary Combi is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. This friendly all-purpose worker has been traveling back and forth across Europe, bringing fabulous memories to families. Between disastrous camping attempts and memorable road trips, the Combi remains the king of vanlife. After all, who hasn't dreamed of cruising California in such a vehicle, hair in the wind and music blasting?

This weekend, at the Jacques-Menant sports center, the magic will happen. According to rumors, there might even be Vans et Compagnie enthusiasts exchanging anecdotes about the best technique for cooking sausages using engine heat. We don't joke around with tradition, my friends! Participants can also hope to find rare parts for their precious vehicles in a friendly and eccentric atmosphere.

Activities for the whole family

But don't think it's just about old junk dealers exchanging mechanics philosophies. The program is packed with activities! A large game inspired by Fort Boyard to stimulate minds, inflatable structures for children, and even pony initiation workshops. Yes, because nothing screams "vanlife" more than a kid on a pony next to their Combi!

And let's talk about the atmosphere: as night falls, a popular ball will be organized, followed by a magnificent fireworks display. Because some will say that nothing sparkles more than fireworks, but those who have seen a Combi under the stars know that the competition is tough.

A community united by passion

Beyond the vehicles, what makes this event vibrant is the community. Volkswagen enthusiasts and even fans of vintage vehicles like Dodo Vans or the Bus Vintage gather to share a common passion: the love of the road and well-told stories. The most nostalgic can even reminisce about the hours spent with their first Westfalia, heads full of dreams of escape.

For those less adventurous, a little coffee at the Café de la route will also be welcome. The cream of coffee to accompany amusing anecdotes by the fireside — a true tradition! What would a meeting be without those moments of sharing over a good cup of coffee, after a day admiring VW Vans under the sun?

And don't forget to visit sites like GT Automotive to stay updated with the latest news on new VW models. The electric revolution is also making its way there; enthusiasts won't be bored!

In summary, this meeting is a vibrant mix of history, passion, and friendship. All just a stone's throw away from home, in a beautiful town that hosts this celebration of colors and sounds. So, get ready, sharpen your best anecdotes, and see you on June 14 and 15, because you can bet you'll encounter more characters there than on a reality TV show!
