The biggest Porsche meeting in France returns to Honfleur

Porsch’Color has returned to Honfleur (Calvados) for its 7th edition. The largest collection of Porsche in France will bring together Saturday April 27 and Sunday April 28, 2024, 600 cars from all over the country, but also from abroad.

To add to the fun, one of the organizers of the event, Gérard Lavigne, and a celebrity guest, driver Michel Nourry, both arrive in their Porsches. Black from 1984 for Gérard, and yellow from almost thirty years for Michel. “And maybe it’s mine that makes the most noise,” laughs the vice-president of the Amicale des Porschistes de Normandie, organizer of Porsch’Color. What could be better than talking about Porsch’Color, next to these two cars.

From 250 to 600 Porsches in a few years

Porsch’Color returns to Honfleur for the 7th edition. 600 cars will gather. Record. The biggest evolution, since the event welcomed 250 cars in its first year, then 330, 420, 480 until today 600. “But we can’t carry more,” explains Gérard Lavigne. We have even been rejecting requests for several weeks.”

About sixty of them will come from foreign countries. “From Belgium, Luxembourg, Holland, England,” lists the organizer. All French regions will be represented. That’s 54 departments in total.

Path through the lake Pont-l’Évêque

For those who are new to this event, Porsch’Color is a tourist meeting, where all participants will have a road book. Two paths are drawn. The first which will depart from Les Andelys, near Rouen. The second, from Bagnoles de l’Orne. 480 Porsches will take these 150 km routes, the other 120 will go directly to Honfleur. After the mandatory crossing of Lake Pont-l’Évêque, 480 cars will finish their journey in Honfleur, in the Bassin de l’Est parking area.

On Saturday April 27, the collection will be open to the public from 11 am to 6 pm, on Sunday from 9:30 am to 5 pm. An exhibitor village, along with food trucks, will be set up. The weekend will end with a Porsche parade of around fifteen kilometers around Honfleur.

Friendship wants to grow

It is always the Amicale des Porschistes de Normandie that organizes the event. The vice president, Gérard Lavigne has about fifty members. “70 will be good,” he hopes. We are looking forward to increasing the number.”
