Tour Auto 2026: elegance in motion, as seen by Varenne
Beneath the glass roof of the Grand Palais, the 2026 Tour Auto celebrates elegance in motion. Just like this Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT, a timeless Italian icon, every line tells a story of passion, heritage and character.
To mark its 35th anniversary, Varenne embodies this spirit, where heritage, aesthetics and motion come together naturally.
Beneath the glass roof of the Grand Palais, time stands still
The Grand Palais regains its lines, its light, its energy. And with it comes the return of an event that has become legendary: the Tour Auto 2026.
For its 35th edition, the event brings together more than 230 exceptional cars, ready to cross France from Clermont-Ferrand to Biarritz, from 5 to 9 May 2026. A journey where mechanics become culture, where every bodywork tells the story of an era.
At the heart of this timeless setting, one silhouette immediately catches the eye: a red Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT, the perfect embodiment of 1960s Italian design.
"The Tour Auto and Varenne share a common commitment to traditions that stand the test of time. This year, the connection is particularly apt: the Tour Auto is celebrating its 35th anniversary, just like Varenne."
Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT: Italian beauty in motion
Sleek, stylish and instantly recognisable with its signature grille and taut lines, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT embodies a certain vision of the automobile: vibrant, elegant and timeless.
Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro for Bertone, this Alfa Romeo belongs to a generation of cars capable of combining performance and emotion without ever veering into excess. At the Tour Auto, it is not merely on display.
It tells a story: of an era when style was a vision, when driving was almost an art form.
Just like these classic cars, Varenne focuses on what lasts.
Two different stories, but the same sensibility: that of places, objects and journeys that span the decades with consistency and character.
Like these classic cars, Varenne is committed to what endures. To what possesses a soul, a signature, a presence.
Whether in the halls of the Grand Palais or on the roads of the Tour Auto, it is all about heritage, transmission, aesthetic emotion, and movement. For the finest stories never stand still.
From Clermont-Ferrand to Biarritz: a journey through elegance
The Tour Auto is not merely a historic race. It is a journey through the French countryside, a moving tribute to Europe’s motoring heritage.
Every stage becomes a stage set. Every bend is a scene in itself. Ferrari 250 GTs, BMW 2002s, historic Porsches or legendary Alfa Romeos: they all share this rare ability to instantly stir a collective emotion.
And this is precisely where Varenne finds its place: at the intersection of heritage and movement, of memory and modernity.
