5 Tips for Preparing Your Visit to Rétromobile 2026
Choose your visit time and purchase your ticket in advance
To make the most of your visit to Rétromobile, timing is essential. Weekdays are the best option for a smoother and more comfortable experience in the halls. Two time slots stand out in particular: Wednesday evening, with an exceptional closing time of 8:30 PM, and Friday evening, with the nocturne until 10 PM, perfect for exploring the salon in a more relaxed atmosphere.
Another key tip to save time as soon as you arrive: buy your ticket online in advance. By purchasing through the official website, you will benefit from a discounted price of €21, compared to €25 at the door, all while avoiding long queues. A simple step to start your Rétromobile experience under the best conditions.
Additionally, if you have opted for a combined Rétromobile + Ultimate Supercar Garage ticket, you can visit both events on separate days. A great way to fully enjoy both worlds through a more relaxed visiting experience.
Easily park near the salon
To make your visit to Rétromobile easier, several parking options are available. The P6 and P7 parking lots at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles are recommended for their proximity to the salon. Many public parking lots are also available around the venue, providing convenient alternatives based on your route.
A handy tip for car enthusiasts bringing their own classic vehicles: parking is free for cars over 30 years old. To take advantage of this, simply head to the salon’s boutique with a photo of your parked vehicle and its registration card, and you will receive a voucher.
Finally, for visitors coming with vehicles adapted for people with reduced mobility (such as minibuses), it is recommended to contact the Handi Rally Passion association in advance at the following email address: [email protected].
Plan and enjoy the key events of your visit
To optimize your experience at Rétromobile, some preparation is strongly recommended. The salon spans across several levels of Pavilion 7, as well as Pavilion 4. A rich layout that requires prior planning to fully enjoy the spaces and exhibitors that interest you the most.
Before your visit, make sure to check the salon map online to locate the stands of key exhibitors based on your interests. This is the best way to structure your visit and avoid unnecessary back-and-forth.
Finally, Rétromobile is also filled with numerous animations, conferences, and key events throughout the week. Be sure to check the event calendar available on the website to plan your visit around the must-see activities.
Take a break and eat at the salon
For the first time, Rétromobile is offering over 1,000 m² of rest areas spread across various halls of the salon. These spaces are designed to allow visitors to take a break, relax for a few moments, and continue their visit in a comfortable setting throughout the day.
When it comes to food, there are many refreshment stands available throughout the salon, offering a variety of options to satisfy your hunger depending on your preferences and schedule. It is also possible to bring your own food and beverages, a practical solution to manage your time and fully enjoy your visit, especially on the busiest days.
Lastly, travel light! Coat check services are available in Pavilion 4 and Pavilion 7.2, near the BMW Art Cars exhibition, so you can leave your bulky items behind and enjoy your visit more comfortably.
Accessibility for people with reduced mobility (PMR/PSH)
Rétromobile is committed to providing an accessible experience for everyone. Accessible restrooms are conveniently located throughout the salon, and all stands are accessible to people with reduced mobility.
