On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France, which is also the China-France Cultural Tourism Year, Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Automobile, together with Dongfeng Citroen and Dongfeng Peugeot, launched the "From the Forbidden City to the Palace of Versailles, a Trip to the East", starting from the Forbidden City in Beijing, passing through Qufu and Nanjing, and entering the "Paris of the East" Shanghai on April 15.
The "Journey to the East" is a legend in the history of automobile development. In 1931, the Citroën team set out from France, and it took 10 months and 12,000 kilometers to cross the Eurasian continent and arrive under the red walls and green tiles of the Forbidden City in Beijing, leaving a profound mark in the history of cultural exchanges between China and France.
Starting with the "Journey to the East", French cars planted a seed in China. In 1992, this seed took root and sprouted, and Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Automobile Co., Ltd. was born. In the 32 years since its establishment, it has gained more than 6.37 million "loyal fans".
During the Shanghai stop, Dongfeng Citroen and Dongfeng Peugeot gathered with many Shenlong friends at Sinan Mansion, a representative of French architecture, to appreciate Sino-French design, experience French life, savor Yue Opera culture, and explore the charm of the fusion of Chinese and French cultures...
Dongfeng Citroen's 2024 Versailles C5 X, C5 AIRCROSS, as well as Dongfeng Peugeot's new 408 龘龘, new 508L, new 5008, 408X and many other models full of French charm are also on display here.
In the past year, Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Automobile and its shareholders finalized the transformation direction of "Made in Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen, Sold Globally".
Next, this journey across Asia and Europe will pass through domestic areas such as Wuhan, Chengdu, and Kashgar, and will also hold theme activities in countries such as Italy, Switzerland, and France, to fully demonstrate the quality confidence of "Made in Shenlong, Sold Globally" and let more people understand the significance and mission of the existence of French fuel vehicles.
