Today’s Bastille Day. To celebrate or commemorate here are several items, one or more of which are French.

But which one(s)?

The late Marie Antoinette

A Yaris

A Clio V

A Peugeot 208

A Croissant

I believe the 208, and some Clios are made in France. The croissant is supposedly Austrian, as was Queen Marie Antoinette

I am going to go with only the three hatchbacks. Yaris, Clio, and 208 are all French.

The only French item is the Yaris, at least if you buy it in Europe. Marie A was Austrian, the croissant is from there and neither the Clio nor the 208 are made in France.

I was pretty sure about the Yaris but not sure about the other hatch backs. I knew the person and the food were imported.

I thought the 208 was still built in Poissy, or have they moved all of it out now?  I had thought Renault was still doing final assembly of some Clios at Flins, but it appears that’s all Micras and Zoes now.

No, the 208 has departed for foreign shores. One third of the previous gen came from France and the rest from Slovakia, this generation has swapped France for Morocco. Flins just does the Micra and Zoe now. This means that none of the top three sellers in France are made there, a source of disquiet to some but not enough to discourage people buying them!

The Clio V is made in Turkey and Slovenia.
