For the 50th edition of the Retromobile Show, we are proud to provide a railway track, at the heart of the Porte de Versailles exhibition center, to host the last model of the Bugatti "Presidential" railcar, dating from 1934.

As part of the exhibition "Bugatti Railcar & Mechanical Oddities, a Journey into the Imagination of Ettore Bugatti", our Eiffage Rail teams have created a tailor-made setting for this treasure of French industrial heritage, exceptionally transported from the Cité du Train - SNCF Heritage.

We will handle the loan, transport, installation, and removal of the track that will allow all visitors to admire this historic vehicle.
