Motobroc' in Velleron
The Motobroc' in Velleron sets up on the impasse du Marché Agricole on Sunday, October 18. The Velleron Événements association runs it three times in 2026: March 15, May 31, then this autumn date, and specialist dealers, private sellers and clubs register with the organiser.
Two worlds share the ground. On one side, an exhibition of old and neo-classic motorbikes shown by their owners, along with collector cars. On the other, a swap meet where specialist dealers and private enthusiasts lay out carburettors, headlights, saddles, fuel tanks, vintage motorbike magazines, manufacturers' catalogues, enamel advertising signs, helmets and period riders' gear side by side.
Peugeot 103, Solex, Vespa, Triumph, Norton, vintage BMW, French post-war bikes. Enthusiasts of these machines make up the community of the event, with car clubs and restoration specialists.
Many turn up on their period mount, parked in tidy rows.
Visitors come from the Vaucluse, the Bouches-du-Rhône, the Gard and the Drôme. Admission is free, parking is on site, and the D31 leads to the grounds.
