PARIS MOTOR SHOW: ‘LA MAISON CITROËN’ IS THE PLACE TO BE!

This year at the Paris Motor Show, Citroën is affirming its ‘Inspired by You’ signature more than ever. Its unique ‘La Maison Citroën’ stand concept actually puts the visitor at the heart of the action with a tiered Arena of over 100 seats. Much more than a simple place to relax, this Arena at the heart of the stand will be the setting for regular events throughout the Show with in particular ‘The World of Citroën’, a live, daily performance, but also the ‘Oui Are French’ music festival and a number of experiences allowing the audience to discover everything about Citroën’s world. This is the place to be, guaranteeing a unique experience for visitors!
