The PSA Aulnay-sous-Bois Plant is a former car plant in France, producing approximately 135,700 cars in 2011. The plant was acquired by the PSA Group in 1976 when Peugeot took a majority stake in the Citroën company which had built the plant. The plant is located on the northern edge of Paris at Aulnay-sous-Bois, close to the A1, A3 and A104 autoroutes. The plant came on stream on 24 April 1973, just one month before Citroën and Fiat announced their "divorce", ending a collaboration agreement entered into amid much fanfare just seven year earlier, in 1968.The Aulnay plant's closure was scheduled for 2014, but in the end this was brought forward and the last car came off the line in October 2013. The plant incorporated manufacturing, painting and assembly departments including, between 1979 and 2008, two assembly lines and all the ancillary activities of an integrated car plant. It also housed two divisions unique within the PSA group: The "Anti-pollution" department is where the emissions of all new models were measured: it was due for closure in August 2012. The "Citroën repository", opened in 2001 is where examples of all the brand's former models were gathered: the repository is not a museum and is not normally open to visitors.

The 1973 Paris Air Show Tu-144 crash was the destruction of the second production Tupolev Tu-144 at Goussainville, Val-d'Oise, France, which killed all six crew members and eight people on the ground. The crash, at the Paris Air Show on Sunday, 3 June 1973, damaged the development program of the Tupolev Tu-144.One theory is that a French Mirage jet sent to photograph the aircraft without the knowledge of the Soviet crew caused the pilots to take evasive maneuvers, resulting in the crash. Another theory is that in a rivalry with the Anglo-French Concorde, the pilots attempted a maneuver that was beyond the capabilities of the aircraft.
