As we've brought you a few interesting Alpine-Renaults that we've found on eBay, it's safe to say that we carry a soft spot in our heart for the French performance specialist. That adoration is the reason we wish we could jet ourselves off to Paris before March rolls around. L'Atelier, Renault's specialty museum and showroom on the Champs-Élysées (much like Citroen's C42), is currently holding a massive exhibition of all things Alpine through March 16.

From what we can see in the pictures supplied by Renault, there's plenty to fascinate over - including an early Alpine (a '56 A106) and even some actual race cars, including a '69 A210 that competed at LeMans. Better yet, starting in February, Renault's new F1 car will also grace L'Atelier, making it a motorsports mecca for any Renault fan.

Enjoy the photos of the display in the gallery below, but if you're interested in planning a trip to L'Atlelier, head up to Renault's official webpage. Just don't be surprised if we're jealous of you upon your return.
