The "concours d’elegance" Story
First seen in France in the 1920’s, it was the prerogative of Dandy’s, who rivaled refinement and distinction behind the wheel of expensive car creations. These ever more exuberant, impressive, inaccessible cars had for some of them as only reason to be the competition of Elégance in Automobiles, being at the limit of the driving on road.
These masterpieces also serve as a setting for women as proud representatives of Haute Couture. It is finally the gathering of the Luxe à la Française, so famous abroad. Over the years, the concept has evolved, incorporating popular models, and moving away from gala washrooms to more classic outfits, although equally evocative of a bygone era.
This is what we try to trace during these two hours of free show at night with no less than 35 vehicles (cars and motorcycles) and their crews. We are engulfed in the temporal rift over more than a century of production, under the comments loaded with crisp anecdotes of Igor Biétry.
