A quick trip to Paris

[Barry.b]

Hi guys
I am just wondering if there are any classic car museums/ collections to visit in Paris.
I am heading there for a couple of nights next weekend with my family and I might get some time to visit some museums while we are there (maybe)

HI,

Sorry, maybe not related to cars but...

I would suggest to visit an old airport:

National Air and Space Museum of France - Paris - Le Bourget

Official website of National Air and Space Museum of France - Paris - Le Bourget

www.museeairespace.fr

It is good to look on cut Concorde and a lot of lot of stuff after French-USSR cooperation towards space exploration / cold war plus planes and engines.

They will be setting up RetroMobile. Pose as a striking worker, plenty of those around and no one will doubt you and sneak in.

Not a museum, but if you want firsthand exposure to a vintage car, there are lots of options for CV2 tours of Paris. It's a hoot, although the winter schedule may be a bit thinner. Here's the one my wife and I took in April: https://www.viator.com/tours/Paris/TOUR-IN-2CV-PARIS-SECRET-2H/d479-126585P4

Hi that looks really cool and I would love to do it. There are 5 of us going so we wouldn’t all fit in the 2cv unfortunately.
But I might keep it in mind , maybe on another trip .

Highly recommend it in, say, April. Winter with the roof open is pas agréable. Here we are in warmer times. And don't forget to compel your significant other to re-enact your favorite scenes from Ronin.

So far so good

Cool. That Cadillac is impressive if for nothing else it would cost a TON to keep that tank full. LOL

Reminds me of my trip to Denmark 18 months back. I saw a C2 Corvette and 1967 Mustang convertible. Saw both driving around and it was fun to hear their 'big' V8's making sounds that you just don't hear out of 99.9% of the cars there. On that trip - I purchased the most expensive gasoline I have ever done... $10/gallon or so as I recall. I could not imagine having a US muscle car (or even that Cadillac or Aston Martin?) over there and having to keep it fed.
Bonus points for the Cadillac driver for driving a car of that size in Europe.... Not trivial....

I wouldn’t fancy trying to get around the arc de triumph in the Cadillac anyway .
We had a great trip and it was lovely to see all the sights including some lovely classics , I missed a few more as I wasn’t fast enough with the camera.
The 2cv was part of someone else’s guided tour and I was lucky enough to be at the Sacre Coeur when it arrived up the hill .
