ST SATURNIN – CLASSIC BRITISH WELCOME
FRIDAY 13TH JUNE 2025 – 9:00 TO 17:00
The Saint-Saturnin Classic British Welcome originated from a passion for Le Mans and the 24 hour race. It’s a fun, colourful car show to welcome visitors to Le Mans, held every year, on the Friday before the 24 hour race. Over a thousand classic cars of all shapes and sizes, from all around the world, gather in Saint-Saturnin, on the northern outskirts of Le Mans.
Each year an individual marque is chosen as the ’theme’ to this ever popular event and for the 2025 running we will be celebrating Matra. Matra, an acronym for Mécanique Aviation Traction, was a major French industrial conglomerate covering a range of industries including automotive and motorsports. Within sports-car racing it’s pinnacle came in the early seventies when it took overall victory at Le Mans in 1972, 1973 and 1974. The 1972 triumph would be France’s first since 1950, as well as Graham Hill’s only win at the event on his 10th attempt, completing the triple-crown.
A full programme timetable will be available soon.
Wander around the stands, watch a film, admire the cars, have a bite to eat and then see off the Saint-Saturnin Cavalcade of prestigious cars as they make their way into town for the Parade des Pilotes. This not-to-be-missed event is free for both visitors and exhibitors. On Friday 13th June 2025, the Classic British Welcome in Saint-Saturnin is the place to be.
