To coincide with the Rugby World Cup 2023, Société des Trains Expositions launched the "WE LOVE 2023 TOUR" project, a four-month train tour of France to immerse visitors in the world of rugby. This ambitious project, requiring two and a half weeks of production and two weeks of installation, stood out for its technical complexity and precision.
Color matching on different substrates, adaptation of the visuals, and the installation of the exterior covering, carried out in very hot conditions, represented major challenges. In all, five cars (127.5 meters) were covered with more than 250 linear meters of polymer film and 50 square meters of microperforated film.
The interior design included immersive exhibits, PVC panels, volume lettering and LED lighting, ensuring a unique experience. The project was carried out in close collaboration with the Carte Blanche agency, guaranteeing a project worthy of the event.
