Concours d'Elegance International

"The Concours d'Elegance (from French meaning a competition of elegance, "concourse of excellence", referring to the gathering of prestigious cars) dates back to 17th Century French aristocracy, who paraded horse-drawn carriages in the parks of Paris during Summer weekends and holidays. Today those carriages have become automobiles and motorcycles, and those gatherings, the Concours d'Elegance, are now hosted at the finest venues all over the world.
