State visit to France by King Charles III and Queen Camilla: DS 7 at the heart of the Champs Elysées Parade

This visit reflects the depth of the historical ties that unite #France and the United Kingdom. It also offers the opportunity to show the world French excellence in culture, art and gastronomy and a unique national heritage.
Welcomed in front of the Arc de Triomphe, Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla were then invited to the Elysée Palace. The iconic journey down the Avenue des #champselysees was done in #DS 7.

The two HeaDS of State paraded in #DS 7 CROSSBACK PRESIDENTIEL, whose first appearance dates back to May 2017. #DS 7 CROSSBACK PRESIDENTIEL was the first #DS 7 CROSSBACK to hit the road. It was already demonstrating all the #DS Automobiles expertise with a bespoke open-top roof and elements identifying the position ('French Republic' signatures, flag holder etc...). The black Art Leather interior showcases French design: the Lacquered Canvas conceived and manufactured by Atelier Maury.
Other #DS 7s, including #DS 7 ÉLYSÉE, escorted the procession. Queen Camilla and Brigitte Macron were in one of these #DS 7s made in Mulhouse. Joining the Presidency of the French Republic’s fleet in November 2021, #DS 7 ÉLYSÉE is a unique design based on #DS 7 E-TENSE 4x4 300 with an elongated chassis and special equipment to turn it into a working tool. #DS 7 ÉLYSÉE is part of a long line of #DS models made for the Presidency of the Republic.

This state visit symbolises the frienDShip and trust between the President of the Republic and His Majesty the King, who have worked closely together in the past to protect biodiversity and combat global warming. #DS Automobiles is fully committed to the energy transition. From 2024, all new models will be exclusively 100% electric.
