Motorhome shows in France: Montauban and three other cities
Original source: ladepeche.fr

In Brief

Several motorhome exhibitions are taking place in France. Montauban hosts 'Camping-car days' until Sunday, while Rouen, Vire and Cournon-d'Auvergne hold shows on the last weekend of January 2026.

In Montauban, the 'Camping-car days' continue until Sunday at Cours Foucault. 130 new and used vehicles are on sale. Last year the show attracted 1,700 visitors. Dealers note that rising fuel prices have not reduced demand, and the average buyer age has dropped to 45. Electric motorhomes are not yet available on the market.

Additionally, on the last weekend of January 2026, three other specialised exhibitions take place across France: in Rouen – 150 vehicles from 20 brands, in Vire – 60 vehicles with test drives possible, in Cournon-d'Auvergne – 100 units. In Beauvais, a dealership launches a 'buy at buyer's price' programme.
