The Citroen Visa Forum

Six-cylinder (Chris) and myself visited the Citroën Conservatoire private museum at the Citroën's Aulnay-sous-Bois factory in the Paris suburbs with other CCC members on our way back from Citromobile in Utrecht. The Club had booked a two hour visit, which is not really enough time to look at every exhibit. So here are a selection of photos from the visit mostly to do with vehicles on this forum, bearing in mind it's not ideal conditions for photography as most of the vehicles are parked close together. So to start with, Chris and I arriving, an Axel 12TRS, grey Mk1 Visa Club and the DS on the wall display:



...my favorite B14 Fire Engine, an early LN, the Nemo Concetto and The Paris-Dakar Rally Super X:



...next my love of tractors, a prototype line up, the Visa Entreprise prototype and the Y2 Axel prototype:



...the last of the Visa prototypes, a Rally Chrono and a Rally Mille Pistes:



...the Rally Visa line up, the Visa K prototype, a Visa Trophee and a Visa West End:



...the Presidential DS, another Rally Visa line up, their cream Visa 105bhp GTi and the electric town car line up:



...and lastly the Grand Raid 4x4 Visa, DS Rally cars, the Visa Lotus and the last Visa line up:



My thanks to Chris for the use of some of their photos.

Great pics Mike - The Conservatoire is on my list to go to one day.

Thanks again for the pics of the CX Rally Car.

...definitely worth doing once, and if absolutely everything Citroën interests you it's most likely worth doing twice - no more than that though.

Thats somewhere i would love to go too, one day ...

Any C15s in there Mike?

...you're in luck Chris there were four - the first pic includes the C15 Taiwan that was made in China, the second includes a C15 Electrique and a nice little red tractor, the third is a six wheeler +++ like yours:



Have a nice day now...

Superb day out, must be very strange looking at all those cars, as you say 2 hours is nowhere near enough, I bet 2 days would be more like it.

I've been there as well, a few months ago:









More images can be found here.

...as you say Mark not enough time, it's only when I look at Peter's pics above that I realise that the blue C15 we both photographed was an electric model - I should have taken a lot more pics of it ...ah well.

Mike, thats certainly an interesting 6-wheel Citroën!

I had wondered if Citroën had a Chausson C15 6-wheel in there, they dont then?

...sorry about the Kagress, I couldn't resist it Chris.

They had no C15 conversions on display in the Museum that they didn't totally manufacture themselves. I guess it must be a Museum policy to display only their own work, although the joint overseas manufactured C15 Taiwan and the Axel are on display there. I guess Citroën have a Museum policy of some kind...
