<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis Fiat 126 Abarth got back on the road, nothing a good mechanic with a flashlight can\u2019t fix let\u2019s say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once on the road we were surrounded by all kinds off classic cars, motorcycles and even cyclists. First major get together was at the Panth\u00e9on which we toured several times and got out to get some pictures. Jaguar, Mercedes, Citro\u00ebn, BMW, DeLorean, Facel, Chevy’s\u2026 you name it. By then it was no longer dark.<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The second stop in front of the \u2018Hotel des Invalides\u2019 was even more thrilling. Cars coming and going at the roundabout and \u2018back from the future\u2019 two DeLorean\u2019s parked before the gate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We could hang around much longer, but by now we started to understand why the event starts so early. Traffic was getting busy and if we wanted to pass Monmartre we had to move on. Coffee and croissants held us for some time at Trocadero. A new gathering there and I was lucky to see this stunning Jensen Intersceptor. This car is made for the majestic boulevards of Paris, isn\u2019t it ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n No luck at Monmartre, too late due to dense traffic. But hey, happy anyway to have participated in this wonderful event. A good atmosphere, the mix with motorcycles and cyclists works well and there is a wide variety of classic cars participating. Pr\u00e9-war, very exclusive classics and less exclusive but sympathetic classic cars like Renault\u2019s R4, Simca 1000, and Deux-Chevaux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once at the end of the tour at the \u2018Hippodrome de Vincennes\u2019 we even placed a little bet. Not a daring one, but I think we will be back for one of the next editions.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This would be the first classic car event of the new decade for us. Since my 1968 Porsche 912 was not available (workshop), we drove with my brother\u2019s 1984 BMW 520 (E28). The lovely cruiser took us along the scenic route to Paris.
