Classics in Paris

Hop the Channel for a cool Gallic gig

Get in quick before the French start strip-searching us at the post-brexit border! Salon Moto Legende is the French equivalent of the Stafford show – only in the centre of a great city, in a gorgeous building with better toilets. The atmosphere’s different, too, with plenty of bikes you’d rarely see in the UK and that laid-back, Gallic vibe.

This year, Triumph are the featured marque, with around 20 machines on display. There’s also to be a celebration of the 40th anniversary of the launch of Honda’s still breath-taking CBX1000, as well as scores of club, trade and autojumble stands. Allez! salon-moto-legende.fr
