The 2015 Chantilly Arts and Elegance Concours d’Elegance was staged 5-6 September in Chantilly, France on the grounds of the Domaine de Chantilly. The 2nd annual event confirmed the success of last year’s show, as the the Chantilly domain again proved an idyllic setting for such a Concours.
The Chantilly Concours d’Elegance 2015 revived the great French Concours d’Elegance tradition dating from the 1920s. This year it was sponsored by the Ministry of Culture and Communications. Motor car fans and families were attracted by the programme celebrating the art de vivre à la Francaise with numerous workshops and attractions specially organised for the occasion. The weather on Sunday was very pleasant and enthusiasts were able to feast their eyes on the 100 exceptional cars, which were all candidates for the Concours d’Etat award, the seven concept cars from manufacturers and designers accompanied by models representing the fashion house in the competition for the Concours d’Elegance prize, as well as the 40 clubs there to win the Grand Prix des Clubs.
The third edition of the Chantilly Arts and Elegance Richard Mille will take place on 4th September 2016.

Wonderful photos. A photographer that understands there is more to a car show than the cars. Thoroughly enjoyed every one.
Maravillosos carros y con un ambiente de real lujo,excelentes las fotografías.
Wow! That’s how to cover cars. We got overall scene setters, close ups, beautiful women, interesting spectators, horses, and cars. I could smell the grass, champagne, and hot exhaust. And few tilty pictures.
5y.o. granddaughter loved this. Fashionista, revhead (“Go on, Mummy. Go faster! Leave them in your dust!” might owe something to TV) & equestrienne, Phoebe is embryonic Chantilly material. When she’s licensed, she’ll get my concours S-Type Jag.
I am truly appreciative to all those who made this event possible, thank you.
