Concours d’Elegance Car Show

A Concours d’Elegance car show is an event that showcases prestigious and pricey cars. In English, the term means what it sounds like in French: a concourse of elegance. The idea of a Concours d’Elegance car show actually dates back to the 17^th century. French aristocrats gathered to parade and show off their best horse-drawn carriages on summer weekends in Paris. Over time, this developed into a showcase of cars and along with formal judging of the entrants.
