DS PLATINIUM JUBILEE
2 DAYS OF FESTIVITIES, PRESTIGE AND CONVIVIALITY
The ParIDS club is preparing an event in October 2025 aimed at highlighting the DS as part of a prestigious event in line with the image of the DS at its time.
A large part of the event will take place in the
15th arrondissement, cradle of the Citroën brand and place of manufacture of the DS.
After the success of the 50th and 60th anniversary, please join us at the DS Platinum Jubilee, a prestigious 2-days event to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the DS.
The organizers of the 50th and 60th anniversaries are part of the members of the ParIDS club, and are strongly motivated to put their experience at the service of an event that lives up to the image of this legendary car.
This manifestation will be:
- Historical: this is why we want a large part of the event to take place in the 15th arrondissement, cradle of the Citroën brand and place of manufacture of the DS in the old Javel factories
- Prestigious: we have gathered together 200 DS,including some remarkable, either by their quality of restoration or by their state of conservation, conformity with the origin being a major criterion.
- But also Popular and Festive: we want a large number of spectators to be able to see these DS, both in static exhibition, and both in movement in the streets of the 15th arrondissement and the capital
