Dyane
Dyane has the same drivetrain and structure as the 2CV 4 and 6, but received a body that was supposed to be more modern. Citroën expected the new model to take over from the popular 2CV.
The Dyane may have looked more modern, but never achieved the same cult status as the 2CV - nor the same sales. It was produced from 1967 to 1983. Fortunately, there are still many cars left. Unfortunately, many are abandoned or rolling around in very poor condition.
Since Méhari shares technology with Dyane, there is good access to new parts. There are still many cars in France with the same mechanics. 2CV Méhari Club in Cassis France sells refurbished and new parts for 2CV, Dyane and Méhari.

Acadiane
Acadiane is the van version, also called Dyane Fourgonnette. There are actually more Acadians on French roads than the sedan version. These are simple and practical cars that are used for transport tasks to this day. Out in the countryside, they are used on bad roads where they offer good accessibility. It is now possible to buy new drivetrains and new wear parts for all cars. The drivetrain is shared, among other things, with Mehari – the open plastic beach car. It still has a high cult status - so parts will not be a problem.

About the pictures
Dyane
All cars are photographed in France and drivable. There are two different red Dyane sedans. The one in the main picture was photographed at a car meet outside Perpignan, Carre d'Or shopping centre. The red one is photographed at a car meet at Canet-en-Roussillon. It may appear to be an original low-miler or nicely restored. The other red car (with red rims) is unrestored, but still in use. The beige car is in daily use in a French village. The glacier-blue car is pictured in a car park in Collioure, France.
Acadiane
The beige car was seen in Montesquieu-des-Albères. The blue one in Maureillas-las-Illas. The yellow one was parked along the street in Bordeaux. The white one parked along a road in Céret. The beige car that has been converted into a pickup truck attended a car meet in Perpignan. All the cars are photographed in France. Acadiane is still a fairly common feature in the traffic picture in the south of France.
