This Sunday: French Car Meeting turns Kemptthal ZH into Little Paris

Whether two wheels or four, whether a racer from Alpine or a goddess from Citroën, whether a faded brand like Simca or a lively one like Renault, whether a pre-war Talbot or a Peugeot from 2025: everything with an engine and wheels that comes from France will come together at Motorworld Manufaktur in The Valley in Kemptthal ZH on Sunday, June 15, 2025, from 9 am to 4 pm. Sports cars, convertibles, vintage and classic cars in particular will turn Kemptthal into Little Paris.

The event is one of the most popular meetings in the classic car, youngtimer, brand club and tuning scene organized by Open Air Tours, which has been dedicated to a country as its motto since 2004, regardless of vehicle and drive type, brand or year of construction. This year, for example, there is the Italian Car Meeting (next time on July 6, 2025), the Japanese Car Meeting (September 8, 2025), the German Car Meeting (October 5, 2025) - or the current French Car Meeting.

Admission is free. If you want to drive your own French car onto the site instead of the many guest parking spaces, you pay five francs by Twint or cash at the entrance. Clubs that drive in together can park next to each other. Food and drink will be provided, with the Motorworld-Manufaktur Region Zürich offering several restaurants and food stalls and everything from bratwurst and burgers to sushi and steak on the huge event site of the former Maggi factory, in addition to countless car-related businesses.

Incidentally, the Motorworld site in The Valley in Kemptthal is not only close to the A1 junctions Winterthur-Töss and Effretikon: Kemptthal even has its own train station on the site. Just in case you fancy a glass of good red wine and therefore the SBB. All information about the French Car Meeting (e.g. directions, parking) can be found at openairtours.ch.
