Auto Tamponneuses

Auto Tamponneuses features colorful electric vehicles equipped with protective bumpers that allow visitors to engage in controlled collisions on a specially designed track within a covered pavilion.

This traditional fairground attraction was developed in the 1920s with contributions from inventors like Gaston Reverchon, becoming a staple of European amusement parks and traveling fairs throughout the twentieth century.

The bumper cars represent a classic element of French fairground culture, bringing together families and friends for shared moments of competitive fun and laughter across multiple generations.

The attraction operates with electric power supplied through overhead grids, accommodating approximately twenty vehicles simultaneously with safety restrictions for pregnant women, elderly visitors, and very young children.

Unlike standard bumper car installations, this attraction requires two semi-trailers for transport and takes approximately six hours to assemble, weighing around forty tons when fully operational.
