Palavas-les-Flots Vintage Vehicle Expo Sale

More than half a century of automotive passion in Palavas

The Vintage Vehicle Expo Sale in Palavas-les-Flots is an institution. For 52 editions, this show has brought together vintage car enthusiasts at the Salle Bleue and the adjacent covered car park, covering 5,800 m² of exhibition and exchange space. 70 exhibitors, professionals, offer spare parts, accessories, maintenance products, tools, technical documentation, miniatures, and services for collector vehicles. The 52nd edition, on April 25th and 26th, 2026, will feature popular French cars, including a Dauphine and a Peugeot 203 cabriolet among the exhibited vehicles.

Exhibition, American Day, and enthusiast atmosphere

Sunday is dedicated to American Day: a parking area is reserved for American vehicles, accompanied by country music and an authentic US atmosphere. Admission is free for the public, and catering is available at midday. The atmosphere blends engine oil, gleaming chrome, and passionate exchanges between collectors from all over the South of France.
