About Gazoline Festival
Gazoline Festival: The Passion for Vintage Vehicles in Sologne
Born from the initiative of Gazoline magazine, a reference in French press dedicated to classic vehicles, the Gazoline Festival is a festive and friendly gathering for enthusiasts of automobiles, two-wheelers, and vintage mechanics. Held at the Parc Équestre Fédéral in Lamotte-Beuvron, in the heart of Sologne, the festival offers an idyllic and spacious setting perfect for exhibiting and admiring vehicles of all eras and brands.
A Rich Program for Enthusiasts
The Gazoline Festival unfolds over a full weekend with a varied program accessible to all types of enthusiasts:
Vehicle Exhibition
The heart of the festival is the grand exhibition of vintage vehicles, featuring hundreds of models: classic cars from the 1920s to the 1990s, vintage two-wheelers—mopeds, scooters, 125cc motorcycles—and vintage utility vehicles. Car clubs and individuals are invited to exhibit their vehicles for free upon pre-registration.
Spare Parts Market and Flea Market
Professional dealers and specialized craftsmen offer spare parts, accessories, tools, technical documentation, and automobilia. It's the perfect opportunity to find that rare part needed for a restoration or to pick up a souvenir related to your passion.
Road-Book Tours and Visits
The afternoons are dedicated to road-book tours through the roads and paths of Sologne, allowing owners to drive their vintage vehicles in a preserved natural setting. Thematic visits—castles, Sologne heritage, private collections—complete the weekend's cultural program.
Guinguette Evening and Camaraderie
On Saturday evening, a musical guinguette evening brings together festival-goers and exhibitors in a retro and friendly atmosphere. Live music, dancing, and on-site catering make this a highlight of the festival, embodying the good-natured and relaxed spirit that characterizes Gazoline magazine and its community of readers.
Free Access Upon Pre-Registration
The Gazoline Festival is free for visitors and exhibitors upon pre-registration. This accessibility is central to the event's philosophy, aiming to bring together as many enthusiasts as possible without financial barriers.
