L’Automobile Magazine: 80 Years of Shared History with the Paris Motor Show
A key player and leading authority in the automotive media, L’Automobile Magazine has been serving enthusiasts, buyers, and professionals for eight decades. At a time when the industry is undergoing unprecedented technological and environmental changes, our editorial team is more committed than ever to analyzing the latest news, test drives, and trends with independence and rigor. Being a partner at the 2026 Paris Motor Show has always been a natural fit for us, but this year it takes on a very special significance.
Indeed, our magazine—the leading automotive monthly in terms of circulation—is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year, an exceptional longevity that binds us closely to the history of the Paris Motor Show. From the very first issue, published in the fall of 1946, our editorial already reflected on this major event, which at the time marked the rebirth of an entire industry after long years of war. Looking back through our archives, we can sense an enthusiasm and anticipation that haven’t aged a bit:
“The automotive world is on high alert, and with good reason. Just think—we’re just a few days away from a major event that hasn’t taken place since 1938. The Paris Motor Show is set to open its doors from October 3 to 13.”
Eight decades later, that same passion drives us as we approach this new edition in Paris. To mark this historic milestone and thank our readers and visitors to the Paris Motor Show for their loyalty, we’ve put together an exclusive anniversary offer that includes a one-year subscription (plus one free month) and our iconic special edition “Toutes Les Voitures du Monde 2027/2028” (356 pages), all for €39 instead of €87.90—a 55% discount.
This is the perfect opportunity to become part of our history and to continue, together, on the path of automotive journalism. Enjoy your visit to the 2026 Paris Motor Show!
