Paris RV Show Attracted More Than 82,000 Visitors

The 55th edition of the Salon des Véhicules de Loisirs (VDL) in Paris, which closed its doors on Sunday, 10th October, attracted more than 82,000 visitors. The show had been eagerly awaited for almost two years by exhibitors and visitors, following the cancellation of last year’s show due to restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The show’s organisers reported busy stands and aisles during the 10 days of event. It commented that the pandemic has shaken up lifestyles and ways of travelling, which has been beneficial for the market for leisure vehicles. As found in other countries, for many French people, leisure vehicles have become a solution to travel independently in complete freedom while respecting social distancing and personal hygiene.

“We are the first general public show to reopen its doors since the health crisis and this show has been eagerly awaited by the whole industry and also by visitors who, even if they made up their minds at the last minute, were there. We had a very good quality show. The stands were beautiful, the exhibitors put a lot of energy into it, and people were happy to meet again. The test center also experienced great success, and demonstrates the appeal of these vehicles to the general public,” explains JeanJacques Kauffmann, General Commissioner of the Salon des Véhicules de Loisirs.
