AUTOMEDON 2016
Robert Panhard had kindly lent us his car M2F from 1897! A beautiful CT 24 from the P&L club de France kept him company.
We met many people, some members came to greet us and enjoy this unique show where the outside (the parking ) is truly amazing with hundreds of ancient of all brands, not to mention the trucks, and motorcycles!
Some Panhard were present along the walkways …
The Voisin stand presented a valveless in its juice

Appointment is made for next year …

The historical visit, commentary by Marie-Claude Cognet
Since he participated in the organization of this festivity and this prevented him from following the normal course of these two days, Jean-Hervé asked me to add a report. So I will not comment on the vehicles as well Panhard & Levassor as teuf-teuf encountered although like everyone else I appreciated them. Besides, other people are far more qualified than me to talk about it. I will therefore only focus on tourism and cultural aspects.
After a picnic out of the bag hardly disturbed by a few drops, we left for a small trip in the forest of Compiegne. Pretty little villages with old churches. I pointed out to Matthieu that we would have to come back and organize a little hike to better see all these beauties because the Panpan goes too fast and I do not know where to head especially that we must keep an eye on the road book “So as not to get lost. I particularly liked Orrouy where I glimpsed a castle appeared to me of the XVI th seen its style. Arrival at the Glade of the Armistice where I preferred to watch the teufs-teufs than to visit the museum (which I can always see another time)
Thanks to Jean-Michel who, with his GPS, took us to the hotel that we would have had trouble finding without him.
A popular evening in Pierrefonds where we were able to guess before the sun set the magnificent castle restored by Viollet-le-Duc (it may now look better than originally but this is another story)
Sunday morning rendezvous at the Château de Compiègne. I find myself in a group beginning with the National Museum of the Car and Tourism that I have already visited. Still disappointed not to be able to enter the horse-drawn part, but this time the lighting made it possible to see the vehicles in the first row and the comments of the guide were interesting.
Now visit the Imperial Apartments. I see a magnificent dining-room and rush into it; But they blocked me because I was going to start the tour upside down. Let us then see the temporary exhibition: “Winterhalter, portraits of court between pomp and elegance”; Beautiful portraits, in fact, that it is forbidden to photograph (still a re-order!). Let us pass on to the serious things, that is to say, to the Imperial apartments; And there, disappointment, they close exceptionally at 11:30; In spite of my disappointment, I am nevertheless authorized to enter the last room, that is to say, from which I was previously turned away.
As the time for the rally is not yet rung, I walk in the old town and enter the church where I can not walk because of the office in progress (normal on a Sunday, but apparently This is not my day!). I can nevertheless admire its general beauty.
Last small trip to the abbey of Moncel where lunch will take place. Stop at Roberval to see the famous scales and also the poor castle which is almost under the motorway. Matthieu, who often passes over it, is always sad when he sees this little castle in such a situation. Lovely building nevertheless and beautiful pigeonnier also. I even forgot about the highway that passes over it.
Abbey of Moncel: impressive monument that allows successful photographs especially for the Doyennes who are well developed and, in addition, the sun is of the party.
After an excellent meal, you can visit various rooms that have just been opened: a chapter house with its beautiful modern stained glass windows, a small museum, a dormitory of nuns with a magnificent framework (but the nuns were not to have hot in the winter without a ceiling) Chapel, refectory. We went down to the cellars and almost fell by missing the last steps so much I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the breathtaking places: huge room vaulted under the whole building, only small flat a large part of the ground has Was elevated in the nineteenth century, but I can easily imagine the state of origin. A small tour in the park where only the foundations of another building remain. Pleasant view on a framed part of the 2 old towers (old châtelet?). Laundry, ponds, I’m not disappointed with the visit! Here we are again in the parking lot which is starting to be sparse. And now unfortunately return to the fold with congestion that await us.
Great thank you to the organizers that we concoct this magnificent weekend! How many good memories we will keep!

For the first time our club participated from 03 to 07 February at this essential event and a very nice torpedo X 19 embellished our site.
The newspaper La Vie de l’Auto has highlighted this innovation and has given us an article in its latest issue.
This was an opportunity to meet a lot of curious and also to forge ties with lovers of the brand.
“We’re here!” Said Arnaud Blanc our president. “For several years now we want to be present at our club.”
The club also has a new website (PL etc) together with a new Bulletin. This year all the Panhard clubs are invited to celebrate the 125 years of the brand at Compiegne (France).
This will take place at the beginning of October.
The pretty X19 with tourer body is a 10HP model from 1918 with Poppet Valves. Until recent times the Sleeve Valve engine was generally misunderstood, but their advantages are once again appreciated by collectors. We now have members who are passionate about their cars for the last thirty or forty years.
Today, Sleeve Valve Panhards can be sourced in good order at reasonable prices compared to other quality makes of car.
