Concours

Always eclectic...

Le dimanche, Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille reprend le visage de ce qui a fait son succès, un distrayant et élégant dimanche familial à la campagne. L’invitation à une promenade dans un musée à ciel ouvert, aussi rare qu’éphémère, décliné désormais en deux concours arbitrés par un jury dont la qualité est assurée par son éclectisme, tant par sa culture que par ses origines.

To each their own contest!

Jugés par des experts, les classes exposent "Les plus Belles Automobiles du Monde".Quant aux clubs, ils mettent en scène une sélection des plus intéressantes voitures du constructeur et une garden party qui, depuis 2014 rencontre un grand succès. Et là, c’est le public, également invité à ce pique-nique, qui vote pour les départager.

Concours d'élégance

The marriage of the car of the future and fashion

France was the cradle of the Concours d’Elégance in the 1920s and the creator of these very popular meetings in which exceptional cars of the era, often personalised by famous coachbuilders, were on display in the company of elegant women dressed in the latest clothes by the great names in French fashion.

One of the driving ambitions behind Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille was to revive this glorious epoch by inviting car manufacturers and designers to unveil to the public their concept cars, interpretations of the future models of their make, by associating them with models in the most beautiful clothes from fashion houses in a unique parade very popular with the public.

Thus, premium makes like Alpine, Aston Martin, BMW, Bugatti, Citroën, DS Automobiles, Ford, Honda, Lexus, Maserati, McLaren, Mercedes-Benz, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Rolls-Royce, VW etc. and Italian coachbuilders Italdesign, Touring et Zagato unveiled in the last four Chantilly Concours d’Elegance, sometimes as a première, their latest interpretations of the motor car of the future associated with dress creators Haider Ackermann, Giorgio Armani, Balmain, Hugo Boss, Ann Demeulemeester, Eymeric François, Jean-Paul Gautier, Yang Li, Thierry Mugler, Paco Rabanne, Alexandre Vauthier etc.

The Most Beautiful Cars in the World

A l’occasion de ses sept premières éditions, le Concours d’Etat de Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille a réuni les plus grands collectionneurs du monde entier. Cent voitures d’exception, incarnations des plus belles créations de l’histoire de l’automobile sont venues à chaque fois de toute l’Europe mais aussi des Etats-Unis, d’Amérique du Sud et d’Asie.

Presented on the Estate’s Le Nôtre lawns to form a remarkable and unique ephemeral museum, they display their charms for one purpose only: to be awarded the Best of Show. Indeed, “crème de la crème”, Chantilly obliges, Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille has been awarding two Best of Show prizes since 2017, as it is difficult to compare a pre-war car with a post-war one.

In each of the 17 classes comprising some four or six cars, rareness, history, state of conservation and upkeep are the main criteria considered by the hand-picked jury when examining them to select the class winner, an obligatory step to go onto the two final “Queens of the Day” consecration.

Grand Prix des Clubs

Every year, around forty of these clubs take part in the huge Garden-Party, a veritable countryside picture that would have inspired some of the most illustrious Impressionist painters.

From sophisticated picnic baskets to exquisitely decorated tables, the elegance of the exhibits must be in harmony if they hope to win the Grand Prix des Clubs, based on the quality of the presentation, the diversity and originality of the models on display, and the attention paid to the Déjeuner sur l'Herbe.
