A must-see event for car enthusiasts
The Rétromobile Show, an unmissable event dedicated to the history of collectible automobiles, makes its grand return from January 28 to February 1, 2026, at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles exhibition center, with a brand-new, exclusive exhibition. Classic car enthusiasts already know it well: recognized as one of the world’s leading international shows devoted to collector cars—along with iconic motorcycles and other mechanical treasures—Rétromobile brings together every year thousands of collectors, exhibitors, and visitors from around the globe.
For this 50th edition, the Rétromobile Show will unfold across three emblematic halls of the Paris Expo complex, offering visitors a fully immersive journey into the world of classic cars and motorcycles. More than 73,000 m² of exhibition space will showcase over 1,000 exceptional vehicles, ranging from timeless classics to rare collector’s items, presented by 620 exhibitors eager to share their passion.
An immersion into the heart of automotive history
As it opens the automotive show season, Rétromobile stands out as a unique meeting place. Whether you are a fan of legendary convertibles, collectible sedans, or unusual concept cars, the aisles of the show offer countless opportunities to rekindle your love for fine mechanics. Visitors can also explore spare parts stands and meet representatives of prestigious clubs dedicated to models such as the Citroën DS, the Traction Avant, or legendary brands including Alfa Romeo, Jaguar, Ford, and Volvo.
The event will be punctuated by themed exhibitions and live attractions, paying tribute to iconic vehicles such as classic collector cars and meticulously restored vintage automobiles. This year, special attention will be given to the centenary of certain flagship models, as well as to vintage motorcycles and pre-war vehicles.
A place for exchange and discovery
Beyond the exhibition of period models, the Rétromobile Show is a true international showcase for the classic automobile world. Visitors will find collectibles, scale models, specialized books, and expert advice on vintage vehicle restoration. Industry professionals—insurers, appraisers, and manufacturers alike—will also be on hand to share their expertise.
Prestigious auction houses such as Artcurial will round out the experience with high-profile sales. These often spectacular auctions highlight unique vehicles—Ferraris, Lancias, or rare prototypes—with estimates sometimes reaching several million euros.
