Tour of Pas de Calais, France

In 2009, Arras welcomed an exceptional Citroën-demonstration : 75 Hours for 75 Years to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Traction Avant, never seen before.

All the participants appreciated the beauty of Arras and discovered that the Pas-de-Calais is more attractive than the media too often depict us. 

The TU Nord thus proposes a rally to discover more of the Pas-de-Calais:

"CitroTour   Contrasts in Pas-de-Calais"

Date : June 26th-27th, 2010.

This rally is open for all Citroens more than 30 years old (first time in traffic former to June 26th, 1980, the certificate of registration is the proof).

The tour will respect its title and will take you along the diversity of this department; bucolic valleys of l'Authie, of la Course; the Capes; the historic sites of the Second world war; the mining country.

The registration fees cover lodging at a hotel or at a camp-site, the food and the entry-ticketsClick here to open the registration form then print, complete and post
