THE #rennes FACTORY

The factory of #rennes has a place firmly rooted in the heart of Citroën's history. Having recently celebrated its 60^thanniversary, the factory which began production with the Ami 6 in 1961, has seen a large number of Citroën's emblematic models roll off the production line, from the GS, the BX, the XM, the C5 and the C6, to name but a few. Production of the first #c5aircross models began in March 2018 and the start of production of the restyled model strengthens a bit more the bond between Citroën and the factory of #rennes.
