DISCOVER MODELS AND INNOVATIONS

Two Concept Cars
One highly anticipated concept car revives an icon of the brand. It transfers the spirit of the legendary 2CV into the present and makes mobility simpler, more accessible, more human, and more desirable. The second concept car remains a surprise until its unveiling and promises to make visitors’ hearts beat faster.

A Showcar
The C3 Aircross Marine Nationale Concept is presented to the public for the first time. To mark the 400th anniversary of the French Navy, Citroën introduces a robust, adventure‑oriented showcar that connects two French institutions.

In line with this vision of everyday adventure, Citroën presents the world premiere of the new “Outdoor” equipment and design signature, which will be available for Ami, C3, and C3 Aircross in the future.

A TRUE LIVING SPACE
Beyond the displayed vehicles, Citroën aims to turn its exhibition stand into a lively meeting point throughout the entire Paris Motor Show. The stand is designed as an open, inviting, and accessible space for all – in line with the brand’s philosophy.
Relax at a Higher Level
On an area of more than 200 square meters, the upper second level of the stand offers space to linger, explore, and unwind. Equipped by partner Fermob with furniture from the Sixties and Rivage collections, this area features various seating zones, the “Bistrot Citroën”, and retreats for a short break from the show.

Music with Spotify
Together with Spotify, Citroën provides a musical program. A playlist curated especially for the show accompanies visitors throughout the day. In addition, several musical events take place where renowned DJs present exclusive sets.
The partnership underscores Citroën’s ambition to create a stand whose atmosphere changes over the course of the day. Music thus becomes another element of encounter and turns the stand into a place where automotive culture, culture, and entertainment converge.
Culinary Experiences at the “Bistrot Citroën”
Connoisseurs also get their money’s worth. At the “Bistrot Citroën”, rotating guest chefs invite visitors to culinary events centered on the great classics of French cuisine. Moderated by Vincent Ferniot, these events are all about conviviality and exchange, extending the visitor experience in a relaxed atmosphere. The program is complemented by “Sweet Breaks” with croissants and madeleines, as well as “Ice Cream Breaks” that create additional moments of connection.
