Thousands of Prevost employees, customers, suppliers, government officials
celebrated the 100th anniversary of Prevost.
The gathering took place in Sainte-Claire, Quebec, the small town where Eugène Prévost founded the company in 1924.
“The success of Prevost is due to our committed employees and loyal customers — many of whom have been with us for generations,” said Prevost and Volvo Group Canada President François Tremblay. “The anniversary is an opportunity to recognize them while honoring the legacy of Eugène Prévost.”

Additionally, 165 Prevost motorhome owners traveled hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of miles to Québec City to take part in a multi-day 100 Year Anniversary Rally the week prior.
The Sept. 14 event was the culmination of nine months of activities that took place throughout Canada and the U.S.
The 100th anniversary celebration in Sainte-Claire included Prevost factory tours, visits to the Prevost museum, and a special appearance by “Clarisse,” along with food and entertainment.

For years, it was the dream of André Turmel, one of Eugène’s grandsons, to recreate the very first Prevost ever made. As the 100th anniversary approached, the family worked together to make the dream a reality. The project was a labor of love that spanned three generations. The name “Clarisse” was chosen to honor Eugène’s wife who was his biggest champion and tireless supporter
