39e Salon Champenois du Véhicule de Collection 2027, Reims

The Salon Champenois du Véhicule de Collection is one of the fixtures of the French spring calendar, and for many visitors it is above all a hunting ground for parts. The 39th edition takes place on 13 and 14 March 2027 at the Parc des Expositions de Reims, organised by 2CE Organisation.

The organiser has already set the tone for 2027. Ford is the featured marque, and the show's theme is Un vent de liberté (a wind of freedom). Each edition puts a marque in the spotlight, and in 2025 the honour went to Automobiles Avions Voisin.

The show is run by 2CE Organisation on behalf of Les Belles Champenoises d'Époque, the leading classic car club in Reims, and the exchange market is its core. The French classic press describes it as an essential stop for pieçards, the restorers and parts hunters who come for new old stock, components salvaged from donor cars, automobilia, pedal cars and period documentation, all under cover. Motorcycles and mopeds are also offered for sale in good numbers.

Alongside the exchange market, clubs and specialists stage displays of vehicles. The Champagne tourist board describes a show that draws more than 30,000 visitors a year from across Europe, with more than 130 associations and specialists serving collectors.

The 2026 edition, the 38th, was held on 7 and 8 March 2026 and opened from 08:30 to 19:00 on Saturday and 09:00 to 18:00 on Sunday. Opening hours and ticket prices for 2027 had not been published at the time of writing, so check the organiser's site before travelling.

Reims itself rewards a longer stay. The city's tourist office promotes the area to car enthusiasts with its historic racing circuit and retro drives through the Champagne vineyards, which makes the show an easy anchor for a weekend in the region.
