Over 30 years ago, in October 1993, a week after what was then known as the "Nioulargue", a handful of members of the fledgling Club "911 Méditerranée" organized a Porsche rally in Saint-Tropez.
The President at the time, Michel GEMIGNANI, decided to call it "Le Paradis Porsche de Saint-Tropez", based on an idea by SONAUTO, former Porsche importer and representative in France.
The first edition took place on October 10, 1993. Some 180 crews, from the 356 to the 964 RS, took part in this first meeting on the parking lot of the Bailli's harbour.
Paul FRERE, Jürgen BARTH and the ALMERAS brothers' team were among them.
Since then, the regional Porsche Clubs have grown and the Paradis Porsche has become one of the most important annual gatherings dedicated to Porsches.
It is part of the official Porsche A.G. calendar and always takes place on the second weekend in October, a week after "Les Voiles de Saint Tropez", the famous regatta that has replaced the former "Nioulargue".
And so, every year, some wonder about the keys to the success of this meeting of enthusiasts, which brings together over 500 Porsches, not counting all those parked outside the park by owners who are not registered for the event, but who travel to be present at this great annual gathering.
Today, the Paradis Porsche is inseparable from Saint-Tropez!
