An international gathering of Citroën 2CV cars has begun in the village of Courroux in western Switzerland. Organisers expect up to 6,000 of the iconic vehicles to arrive over the next six days.
The World Meeting of 2CV Friends is the biggest event ever organised in canton Jura, the canton’s tourism director Guillaume Lachat said on Tuesday.
An area of some 53 hectares – the equivalent of around 75 football pitches – has been made available for the cult cars and their fans.
The Keystone-SDA news agency reported that long queues had already formed at the event campsite on Tuesday morning. Some 2CVs travelled from Australia or the French Antilles island of Martinique, the agency said.
