Le Salon de la Moto, Paris
THIS year’s Salon de la Moto (the “Paris show”) is being staged from the 3rd to the 8th December 2013 at the Paris expo centre, Porte de Versailles. Aimed at the motorcycle, scooter and quad/ATV markets, the organisers say that the show will bring together “all the players in the field around one main area: to allow the energy of this field to shine”. It is said that “all the major manufacturers, equipment and accessory manufacturers and service providers” will be there with over 13,000 square metres of expo space already booked and “many world and European premiere releases scheduled”. The organisers say that over 200 brands are already booked, including the French motorcycle brand Voxan, who are making a comeback this year. Monday December 2nd is a press and trade day, with the show open to the public from Tuesday 2nd to Sunday 8th December inclusive. A comprehensive programme of consumer events and activities is planned, with a special focus on attracting teenage riders and those who are engaged or wish to engage in securing the next stage of their motorcycle licence. Additional features will include a celebration of famous French riders of the past, and the motorcycle models that “allowed them to become legends” by the French Federation of Vintage Vehicles (FFVE). www.lesalondelamoto.com
