Event
Nîmotor Auto Moto Rétro celebrates its 27th edition in 2026, marking over two decades as southern France's premier classic car and motorcycle gathering. Held at Parc des Expositions de Nîmes on February 21 and 22, this beloved event has recently undergone transformation with new organization and identity while maintaining the warm, community-driven spirit.
The show fills both indoor halls and outdoor areas with impressive diversity of restored classics, youngtimers, and vintage motorcycles spanning multiple decades. From pre-war French automobiles to 1980s youngtimers, the displays showcase the full spectrum of mechanical history.
What distinguishes Nîmotor is its authentic bourse d'échanges, a bustling marketplace where enthusiasts discover rare spare parts, period documentation, vintage miniatures, and retro décor. The trading floor creates genuine community atmosphere where collectors negotiate directly, share knowledge, and source components for restorations. This human-scale approach encourages meaningful conversations in a relaxed setting shaped by southern France's warmth.
The event is organized by ADAPTATION FORMATION SECURITE. Drivers arriving in classic vehicles over 25 years old enjoy complimentary admission, subject to available parking. Free parking is provided for all visitors, and on-site food and beverage facilities ensure comfortable experience. The show welcomes families with special pricing for children aged 3 to 11, making it accessible for younger generations discovering automotive heritage.
