“Style & Design” exhibition at L’Aventure Peugeot Museum

This exceptional retrospective will occupy numerous spaces at L’Aventure Peugeot Museum, to the delight of visitors.
From the entrance, the tone is set as they will be greeted by two concept cars from 2014, Quartz and Exalt, then by Bobslid, E-doll, and Vroomster, three funny vehicles from the “City Toyz” collection (2000) evoking the pleasure of driving in an urban environment. With their bright colors and fun look, these toy cars are sure to pique the interest of children!
In the areas dedicated to the beginnings of the Peugeot automobile, you will discover where the name of the bodywork comes from: vis-à-vis, torpedo, sedan, limousine, coupe… Some explanations will seem logical to you and others will seem more surprising…
The tour continues with the story of the creation of the first Style Peugeot office, in particular with the creator of the “Fuseau de Sochaux” line, Henri Thomas.
As you move forward in time and through the aisles of the Museum, you will be able to admire the 402 “Andreau”, a prototype made in 1936 by Jean Andreau. This aerodynamic engineer thus designed his interpretation of the ideal scientific bodywork.
During the visit, we will not fail to mention the designers who have left their mark on the world of automobile design, and that of Peugeot in particular: Paul Bouvot (Design boss of the Lion brand from 1957 to 1977), Pinin Farina (at the origin of the famous Italian design company Pininfarina – this will be the opportunity to see the Peugette again and discover the Griffe4 concept for the first time), and of course Gérard Welter (trained by Paul Bouvot to whom he succeeded at the head of Peugeot Style). During his era, was born Quasar, the first real concept car from the Peugeot brand. Other concepts from the “Welter” years will be exhibited at the Museum: Proxima, Ion, Asphalte, Escapade, Z9 Coupé and Elixir.
