The Ballot Archduke at the Stade de France

Press Release_Ballot_Archduke_Stade_de_France

This Friday, September 25, 2026, the company in charge of the show for the grand youth vigil at the Stade de France has chosen a Ballot Archiduc. An exceptional showcase for a brand new, 100% electric car, designed and manufactured in France.

A historic evening. Nearly 80,000 young people aged 17 to 35 gathered in Saint-Denis for this vigil, one of the highlights of Pope Leo XIV's visit to France. The evening was broadcast live on France 2, LCI, KTO, and france.tv.

Yesterday's elegance, today's energy. The Archiduc faithfully reproduces the design of utilitarian vehicles from the 1900s: wooden platform, period grille and large headlights, and wire wheels. Beneath this vintage look lies a 100% electric motor, silent and emission-free in operation. Reserved for private roads, it is ideal for estates, parks, heritage sites, and major events.

A great name reborn. Founded in Paris in 1905, Ballot raced in the Indianapolis 500 and contributed to Ettore Bugatti's first engines. Today, the brand is reborn in our workshops in the Vendée region of France, with a network of French artisans: saddlers, harness makers, and painters.
