The international motor show opened on the 13th 1898, on the terrace of the Tuilleries Gardens, took place outdoors, sheltered only by some improvised roof.
In 1899 this motor show is recognized as being the sole and the unique manifestation of its kind.
The universal exhibition from 1900 suppressed temporarily the motor show for replacing it by a complete exhibition concerning all that had something in common with transport in general: bodies of the cars, bicycles, harnesses, etc. But during the same year the automobile regained his rigths.

Paris, France - In the stultifying halls of the Paris Motor Show, it wasn't just the models, both automotive and female, that raised the temperature.
For Canadians, only a few of the vehicles at Paris will have direct relevance for our market, but this was a chance to identify trends, take in the glamour, and see some fabulous cars in the land of people wearing pointy shoes (coming to a store near you sometime soon, I'm sure).
Also on view at the Paris Motor Show and relevant to our market, were the 2005 Porsche Boxster, the new Audi A4 with its controversial grille, and a V-8 version of Volvo's XC-90.
