THE CITROËN HERITAGE

Since 1919, the Citroën brand has demonstrated audacity and an attachment to people that has never been denied throughout its history.

With its almost century-old heritage of more than 300 models, some of which have forever marked the automobile industry, Citroën is inscribed in the hearts of every French person.

It is in this historical epic, initiated by the visionary genius of André Citroën, that we invite you to immerse yourself here.

THE ORIGIN OF THE LOGO

During a trip to Poland in 1900, André Citroën discovered the process, new at the time, of metal gears. One of the systems uses rafters. An engineer and polytechnician, the future founder of Citroën bought the license and adapted it for his French factories. He then chose to make the double chevron the emblem of his first company.
