a royal parade!

A ROYAL PARADE!
The first Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille was held on Sunday 7th September and
fulfilled all its promise.
This first rendezvous, the result of two years’ hard work by the organiser Peter Auto, which has
built up its international reputation with two major events for historic motor cars – the Tour de
France Auto Optic 2ooo and Le Mans Classic - celebrated the return to French soil of the
Concours d’Elégance. This great national tradition dating from the 20s was revived on Sunday in
the Le Nôtre gardens in the Château in Chantilly. On the programme was a parade of 10 concept
cars from manufacturers accompanied by models dressed by the same number of haute couture
houses. Three world premières took place: the Aston Martin Zagato, the DS Divine and the
Peugeot Exalt (French version). There was also a European première the McLaren P1 GTR. The
Concours d’Etat brought together some 100 exceptional cars from the greatest collections from all
over the world divided up into ten classes. Finally, there was a third concours – the Clubs Grand
Prix – which welcomed almost 500 cars and rewarded the best setting by a club in the context of
the Déjeuner sur l’Herbe (see below the results of the different concours).
Almost 10 000 spectators attended the first running of the Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard
Mille, which has immediately become part of that very elite circle of the most outstanding events
of its type. Numerous workshops celebrating the French Art de Vivre and Savoir Faire were also
very popular as were the various forms of entertainment for the general public.
This elegant Sunday in the country also satisfied the numerous partners who put their confidence
in Peter Auto, which has already announced that the second event will take place on the first
Sunday in September 2015.
Patrick Peter (organiser): "We’re very happy with the first event. Major collectors from all over the world were
here today. We were awaiting their reaction with impatience. This evening they’re absolutely delighted and that includes
the regulars at the main yardstick concours d’élégance. Thanks to the exceptional setting provided by the Chantilly
Château our event has different advantages. We now know that we can count on word of mouth to expand it for the
second running which will take place next year at the same date. Today, some 10 000 spectators came to Chantilly
included those who already follow us at the circuits. We also saw that there was considerable interest among people who
don’t usually bother attending this type of event. Of course, there are details in the first one that we’ll improve, and the
second concours will be all the better for it."
