Paris sightseeing tour : 700 old vintage cars, scooters and motorbikes in the streets of Paris !

Enjoy a Paris sightseeing tour on this Sunday 6 January : more than 700 old vintage cars, scooters, motorcycles, tractors and old buses roam the streets of Paris. This sightseeing tour of Paris is organized by the association “Vincennes en Anciennes”

This Paris sightseeing tour takes place from the Chateau de vincennes for a ride all along the most beautiful places to see in Paris. (loop through the Place de la Nation, Place Vendome, Concorde, Champs Elysees, Arc de triumph, Montmartre..)

But this traditional event which takes place twice a year, in summer and winter, this time has a special flavor. In November, the City of Paris presented a draft plan pollution: it provides for a ban on the movement of capital cars over 17 years and motorcycles for over 10 years.

“Our event is above all festive with a museum free for the public stock. Spectators will be able to admire a Ford T Roadster 1919, a Citroën B12 1924 but a Ferrari Dino 308 GT 1968 and all that European industry has built. Motorcycle side, I think a beautiful Harley Davidson WLC 1942, explains Michel Romanet, the president of “Vincennes Anciennes” Association.

However, the measures proposed by the mayor of Paris go against this historical heritage. Therefore, all the participants to mark their disapproval will stick a sticker on the windshield of their vehicle with the slogan: Our old cars love the city. ”
