Hire a legendary car and immerse yourself in the Provençal art of living
More than just a car, the 2 CV has been a true phenomenon for many years! And today, it remains as popular as ever. It is known the world over and has earned nicknames that reflect its extraordinary popularity. Yet it is neither a luxury or sports car, nor a premium brand. On the contrary, it is one of the simplest cars ever built, with over 5 million produced. Much more than just a means of transport, it is the symbol of a simple way of life, imbued with freedom, especially in its convertible version!
The 2 CV is a subtle blend of references and classic ‘clichés’ of France, like the baguette or Camembert cheese, infused with values of freedom, tolerance, openness, and even artistic creativity. In the 1950s and 60s, it was the first new car for many French people, and it enjoyed (and still enjoys) a highly popular second-hand market. It is an integral part of the memories of those who lived through the 1980s. Almost everyone, or at least someone close to them, has owned one, or had a relative or friend who did. Whether it’s for nostalgia, the car’s beauty (and its array of colours), its practicality, or simply the joy of driving a convertible, there are so many reasons to hire a ‘Deudeuche’ (Citroën 2 CV) in Provence!
