Keyring Eclair Michelin

Some vehicles herald the dawn of a new way of travelling the world. The Michelin Éclair is part of this pioneering history, where experimentation and boldness pave the way for new possibilities in mobility.

Built by the Michelin brothers in 1895, this unique car combined a Peugeot chassis with a heavy Daimler boat engine. Its tendency to move in a zigzag pattern earned it its name, a nod to its unpredictable trajectory. Depicted in miniature on this key ring, L’Éclair brings the early days of the Michelin adventure to life. A compact object that keeps the spirit of innovation and the memory of a pioneer – who even back then refused to follow the beaten track – close at hand.
