Chantilly Arts & Elégance 2019 Richard Mille

The 5th edition of the world’s most elegant automotive competition, Chantilly Arts & Elégance, welcomed 18,000 visitors last June.

Stopping by to discover unbelievable concept cars, side by side with the most beautiful classic cars in existence, a large number of Richard Mille partners were on hand to share this singular moment with the brand.

The inaugural event was the supercar rally, which, all morning, transformed the Mortefontaine track into a giant playground for the world’s most exceptional automobiles, notably McLarens. Through slaloms, braking and a speed bowl, participants were able to take full advantage of these racing machines. Among those present, skiing champion Alexis Pinturault made no secret of how much he enjoyed perfecting his trajectory and experiencing chills and thrills at the wheel of a 720S Spider. In parallel with this introduction to the track, a lunch at the Palais de Compiègne in the company of Jamaican sprinter Yohan Blake concluded the Rallye des Collectionneurs, an opportunity for the public to admire some extremely rare cars, such as the McLaren P1 GTR and 720s, Ferrari’s LaFerrari, Enzo and 288 GTO models, the Porsche 918 and various Mercedes SLRs.

Visitors were invited to discover the greatest automotive masterpieces of all time on the lawns designed by Le Nôtre, as well as enjoying numerous other attractions, such a boat ride on the Grand Canal, a fairground, old-fashioned games and an unprecedented exhibition devoted to “The Nude Mona Lisa” at the Musée Condé.
