Tour Auto 2026 – Stages 2 & 3 at the Pont du Gard

From 6 to 7 May 2026, the legendary Tour Auto 2026 will stop off at the Pont du Gard, offering a rare spectacle where ancient heritage meets motoring legends.

The concept behind the Tour Auto


First held in 1899 and relaunched in its current form in 1992, the Tour Auto is now one of the world’s most prestigious historic rallies.

Its concept is based on a unique blend:

  • A rally combining regularity and competition
  • Stages on open roads, set against iconic backdrops
  • Timed trials on circuits and closed roads
  • A line-up of legendary classic cars (Ferrari, Porsche, Jaguar…)

Every year, it traverses France like a living tapestry, bringing together heritage, performance and a passion for motoring. In 2026, it will run from Paris to Biarritz from 3 to 9 May, over five days of adventure.
