Peugeot showcases chic Bistro du Lion food truck

Say what you will about their cars, but the French are renowned around the world for the culinary expertise. And now the two fields have come together with the launch of the Peugeot food truck.

Dubbed "Le Bistro du Lion," the truck is a project of the Peugeot Design Lab. It's built around a custom van with matching trailer that rolls onto site and deploys into a pop-up restaurant, complete with mobile kitchen, standing tables for 30 patrons and even a DJ booth. (You know, because French.)

The van appears completely unique from any Peugeot commercial vehicle we've seen to date, but if we had to guess, we'd venture it was probably built around the Fiat Scudo-based Expert van. Regardless, it looks pretty slick, with metallic copy paintjob and custom graphics.
