While for Chantilly Arts & Elegance, Richard Mille’s elegance remained what it was, the Concours underwent a makeover by offering premium brand manufacturers a new private setting to host their guests over three days. The 2024 edition was a resounding success, with record attendance and an increased participation from major automotive brands. The event attracted attention not only for the quality of the cars on display but also for the exclusive experience offered to guests, consolidating its position as a must-attend event for elegance and prestige automobiles.

The 6th edition of Chantilly Arts et Elegance Richard Mille took place on September 25, 2022 under the best auspices. Even the weather avoided being capricious! Launched among the world’s leading luxury car competitions since its creation in 2014, this event continues to grow, both in terms of the number of visitors and the wealth of automobiles entered in the three competitions. Among the 9 concept cars competing in the Concours d’Élégance were two international revelations and three European ones. It was almost like a mini-Automobile Show!
Direct object additions: 40 clubs gathered 700 cars that, as usual, complemented this picturesque tableau that would undoubtedly have inspired the Impressionists. A setting in which the public was invited to blend in for the traditional lunch on the grass.

The 4th edition kept all its promises. Five concept cars were competing in the Elegance Competition: DS 7 Crossback Présidentiel, Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Volante, McLaren 720 S, Renault Trezor Concept and Citroën CXperience Concept. As part of the State Competition, Peter Auto decided to celebrate Ferrari’s 70th anniversary in its own way and chose the 24 Hours of Le Mans as the main theme. Thus, twenty-eight machines from the Cavallino Rampante were all gathered for the occasion and divided into five classes; undoubtedly one of the most beautiful celebrations of this anniversary.

A major innovation that might set a new standard: Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille will now award 2 Best of Show cars; it is very difficult to compare a pre-war car with one built after the war.

The 2016 edition welcomed 13,500 visitors to the Domaine du Château. This represents a stable attendance compared to 2015, which would certainly have been higher if the weather conditions – overcast skies and scattered rain in the morning – had been as mild as in previous years. Eight concept cars were competing in the Concours d’Elégance, including the DS E-Tense, which performed best. The State Concours once again featured a hundred exceptional automobiles, brought from all over the world for the occasion.
