The Citroën "Croisières" expeditions have always been, except couple details, our deepest inspiration in the making of our various automotive journeys in the past 20 years. Since childhood, the images and stories of these Citroën expeditions have haunted our sweetest dreams and have always been the summit to reach one day, in the life we have built. Today, comforted with our logistics and human experience, we feel now ready for attempting the challenge of following the tracks of these two legendary expeditions - Croisière Noire (1924 à 1925) and Croisière Jaune (1931 à 1932) - two great humain and geographic adventures (slightly automotive). Any idea of record have no value to us. The only expectation to aim for is the knowledge on people and our planet we would generate and share through these two expeditions to come.
In July 2007, we will drive the first survey : Pékin-Moscow-Paris, by Oulan Bator and Baikal Lake. We'll let you know
The convoy will be made by a group of ten Traction-Avant Citroën (built from 1938 to 1955) specially prepared
