New event begins in Tours

Following the Paris Motor Show, the Parc Expo in Tours is transforming into a "super dealership" from Friday, October 23, to Monday, October 26. The event will take place across the three halls of the venue, with free entry from 6 PM on the first day, which will include a nighttime event with DJ performances until 9 PM.

Entry costs and age restrictions

Admission will cost 5 euros if booked in advance and 6 euros on site, with free entry for those under 12 years old. This pricing structure aims to encourage attendance while also offering flexibility for visitors.

Motorcycle area added

Among the highlights of this edition is a new motorcycle area added to the sections dedicated to cars and recreational vehicles such as caravans and campers. The entire Hall B will be dedicated to two-wheelers, showcasing a variety of brands and models.

Major car brands present

The organizer, Tours Evénements, announced that 30 car brands will be present, including Audi, BYD, Ford, Honda, Mazda, Kia, Peugeot, Mercedes, and Opel. Motorcycle brands such as BMW, Harley Davidson, and Yamaha will also be represented, offering a wide range of options for visitors.

Diverse exhibits and attractions

A number of new vehicles will be showcased in the exhibition halls, including a test drive area for cars. The event will also feature an entire hall dedicated to used vehicles, pedal go-karts, car simulators, and the presence of prestige and classic vehicles, particularly on the stand of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest.

Special vehicles and expected attendance

The Automobile Club de l’Ouest will bring two models from the M24 Museum in Le Mans (a Formula 1 Matra and a Porsche 935) as well as a Porsche 550 and a Bugatti 37. An estimated 15,000 people are expected to attend over the four days, with less well-known companies such as Zeerk and Chery also participating. Many electric and hybrid vehicles will be on display, reflecting the current period of rising fuel prices.
