Every 2 years thousands of people converge on Chantilly to admire 500 historic racing cars on the track and 8,500 vintage cars in the general enclosures, especially designed to accommodate car clubs representing 60 marques. The Concours D’Elégance marries together the most prestigious fashion houses with the most esteemed car makers who show off their latest concepts in a parade. The Concours d’Etat is where rare, pristine and historically significant cars compete in 15 classes designed to show the most beautiful creations in motoring history.
 
Enjoy an optional Compiègne Forest and Pierrefonds Scenic Drive which takes you through the Compiegne Forest, the second largest forest in France covering 35,620 acres. Its oak and beech lined roads criss-cross the forest where both the Armistice of 1918 and of 1940 were signed, one ending the first World War and the other where France surrendered to Nazis some 22 years later. The village of Pierrefonds is on the south-east edge of the Compiègne Forest, best known for the Château de Pierrefonds and its picturesque village.
