L'Aventure Automobile à Poissy

L’Aventure Automobile à Poissy (CAAPY) preserves vehicles, manufacturing tools and archives documenting the Poissy factory’s history from Ford SAF through Simca, Talbot and PSA. The association’s collection is housed within the Stellantis Poissy site and showcases around a hundred cars linked to local production.

Visits are run by volunteers: one public guided visit (usually a Saturday afternoon each month) and group visits by request. Practical visitor information, schedules and booking contacts are published on the association website and in their PDF documents.

A compact, specialist museum focused on the Poissy factory’s production history with hands-on exhibits and archival material.

Look out for:

• Historic models produced at Poissy spanning Ford SAF, Simca, Talbot and PSA eras.

• Archival photos, tooling and factory-related artifacts that explain manufacturing processes.

• A collection of roughly a hundred vehicles and representative workshop equipment.

• Volunteer guides with local, technical knowledge of the factory’s history.
