Rider Information · 26–28 June 2027
Paris Days: checks, briefing, start
Two days at the Château d’Ormesson to turn a registration into an adventure. Then, at midnight as 28 June begins, the road north.
The programme
Based on the 2026 edition; the detailed 2027 programme and your personal check-in slot are sent to entrants.
Administrative and technical checks
At your booked time: documents, bike, equipment. You receive your number, the PNK Passport, the tracker and the welcome kit.
Shakedown route opens
A dedicated route around Paris, open until 14:00 the next day, to test bike and navigation. Only after your checks are complete.
Navigation course
Tiziano Internò explains the apps, the tricks and answers your questions. Highly recommended for Rally RoadBook riders.
Checks continue, shakedown closes
Last check-in slots. In the early afternoon all motorcycles must be moved to the dedicated parking and the parc fermé line-up starts, category by category.
Mandatory briefing
Three sessions, in French, Italian and English. Bring your PNK Passport: it is stamped at the end of the briefing, and without the stamp the adventure cannot begin.
Welcome dinner
Buffet for all participants: meet the other riders, share expectations, feel the atmosphere.
Riders line-up
Everyone at the starting area, motorcycles in departure order, final checks.
Official departure
Two side-by-side lines, two riders per minute: first the Rally classes, then the Explorer GPX. The route passes the Eiffel Tower before heading north.
Documents
Identity and motorcycle papers
Passport or ID card, driving licence, registration certificate and the motorcycle insurance valid in all the countries crossed. If the bike is not in your name, an authorisation from the owner.
Roadside assistance
A roadside assistance extension for your motorcycle, valid in all the countries crossed, is a requirement to participate: recovery in case of breakdown is not included in the entry fee.
Medical history form
A short medical history form is requested at the checks. The form is sent to entrants with the Participant’s Guide.
Money
€150 in cash for the tracker
The deposit for the live-tracking and safety device is paid in cash only, at the checks, and returned in cash when you hand the device back at the final Gate.
Bike and gear
The motorcycle
Suitable for your category, with lights, indicators and horn working, a tyre repair kit (unless you run a puncture-proof system), basic tools and a fuel range of at least 150 km, 200 km recommended.
Personal equipment
Full-face or off-road helmet, complete protection for upper and lower limbs, shoulders and back, boots, approved gloves, first-aid kit and thermal blanket.
Navigation devices
Your main device (tablet for RoadBook, GPS or smartphone for GPX) with the apps installed, plus the mandatory second GPS device. Bring them to the navigation course too.
Gate 0: the Château d’Ormesson
The start camp is at the Domaine d’Ormesson, 1 Avenue du Général de Gaulle, Ormesson-sur-Marne, a few kilometres east of Paris. Access to the Gate area is reserved for the motorcycles of registered participants: support vehicles are not admitted.
We are guests in a magnificent setting. Use the toilets near the entrance gate, respect the private courtyards around the Château and show the best of ourselves as riders and as people.
Next: Before You Go
The link to book your check-in time in Paris is sent privately to entrants. Meanwhile, the checklist for documents, bike, equipment and navigation.
