Sixty years old for the legendary
2CV Citroen and a spectacular anniversary, what to do with
open eyes of his admirers as round as its flagship legendary! The 2CV
is the festival at La Villette under the slogan: "The main thing in
essence." The designers of the Cite des Sciences et de l'Industrie have
put the turbo later inventiveness to encourage us to look with joy and
curiosity in the back. And good ideas fuel to recall how the 2CV has
embodied his time in technological innovation while accompanying missed
without changes in society. Welcomed at the top of the escalator of the
great hall by three models who play the "cars" on the air (suspended 10
meters above the ground, cars were emptied of their mechanics to be
lighter), visitors are not after their surprises. For this exhibition
very playful refrain does not mean the interludes techniques. Two
issues - among others - his show skillfully run: The parade of
stars, undoubtedly the highlight of the show! Emblematic models take
the stage three by three, slow rolling on the carpet, stopping to
afford the eyes of the public while, behind the stars, screens combine
archival images and advertisements by "personality" of cars with music
by pop-rock tempo variable. A show of thirteen minutes with a loop, in
order of appearance: "classics" (rutilantes old ladies in their elegant
gray mouse); "champions" (competing raids, cross, rally); "starlets 80
years "(Bicolores and malicious like Dolly or romantic as the
Charleston).
For a flirt with it, just slip in the "island of technology" and settle
the wheel of a 2CV, feel, look ... and listen as your hostess describes
itself on its passenger punctuating his explanations of anecdotes. The
highlight of the show : Sunday, May 25 to 15 hours in front of the City
(free access, level 0), strip-tease! A large appointment gather sixty
2CV all times, and sometimes carefully customized by their owners. They
will be delivered to the expert hands of engineers who unmake them and
rebuild them entirely in one hour clock.
