It’s a legendary two-wheeler! The moped has, among other things, given entire generations a first breath of independence. She held a salon this weekend in Bressuire.
“My name is moped, and fuck you!” seem to tell us its backfires… like a motorized mosquito that we hear coming from afar, that we watch pass and leave… then come back, again and again on beautiful summer days in the villages.. .
The noise of this machine is synonymous with annoyance for its spectators, but also with freedom, trips between friends for its pilots. The mopeds had met at the Château de Boissière, in Bressuire, on this weekend in mid-July.
More than a thousand were exhibited for this first festival of its kind in Nord-Deux-Sèvres. A scene that immerses visitors in memories.
It makes us dream, it’s all our youth! The school and the mopeds… When you see today all that has come to improve them, I think it’s great!

Started by pedaling, mopeds reached their peak in France in the 1970s.
Less popular today than the motorcycle or the scooter, they are still made by these enthusiasts.
Jérémie took two years to put all the pieces together, “only original parts!“, from his old “blue” for connoisseurs. Today, he proudly displays it.
It was the only means of transport we had to go see friends, go to high school, and today, 20 years later, here it is!

This is the first edition of this show organized by 50 Factory. Launched in 2009, this company sells moped spare parts throughout France. A timeless pleasure for its manager.
We realize that people of all ages and from all walks of life are entering this field, and it is still developing.

Manager of 50 Factory
Several hundred visitors from all over France made the trip. Like this Savoyard YouTuber, specialist in two wheels.
I am happy to come there because I meet another culture! Depending on the region, it’s not the same style. It’s nice to be able to talk about customs that I don’t know!
