In the charming setting of the Port of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, on the 14th and 15th of September 2024, the unmissable event “Saint Jean Cap Ferrat Prestige” will take place, an annual gathering that has become a classic in the calendar of events dedicated to automotive heritage. This year, celebrating its 10th edition, the event promises to be rich in charm and content, attracting a large number of participants and car enthusiasts.
Each September, Saint Jean Cap Ferrat Prestige celebrates the elegance and engineering excellence of historic vehicles, offering a unique showcase. Renowned for the exceptional quality of the cars on display, the event has become a reference point for car enthusiasts. The 2024 edition will focus on the beauty and engineering of German automobiles, showcasing how this tradition has influenced car design through the decades.
The two-day event features two main sections: “PRESTIGE Patrimoine” and the prestigious “Concours d’Élégance de Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat.” “PRESTIGE Patrimoine” takes the form of a pop-up museum, displaying iconic cars from every era, confirming the event’s role as an “Ephemeral Museum of Automotive Heritage.” This section, much appreciated by visitors, offers a journey through the history of the automobile, highlighting how these vehicles have been privileged witnesses to cultural and technological changes in society.
The “Concours d’Élégance” is reserved exclusively for coupés and convertibles, vehicles that epitomize style and sophistication, carefully selected to represent the finest in automotive design. The jury, presided over by Thierry Boutsen, renowned former Formula 1 driver, will ensure the high level of competition and selection of cars in the contest.
But the event is not just about a passion for cars: Saint Jean Cap Ferrat Prestige is also a convivial occasion. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet friends, share experiences with other enthusiasts, and enjoy the various activities organized in an exceptional setting. The marina, with its numerous restaurants and cafes, provides the perfect backdrop for a day dedicated to leisure and elegance.
As in the previous edition, visitor parking will be made available along Avenue de Verdun, located on the heights of the Cape, and a shuttle bus service will provide easy connections to the port every 20 minutes.
The 2024 edition of Saint Jean Cap Ferrat Prestige also forms part of the celebrations for the 120th anniversary of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and will be held under the High Patronage of HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, adding further prestige and significance to the event.
In conclusion, Saint Jean Cap Ferrat Prestige is not just a celebration of automotive heritage but a cultural and social event of great value, combining passion, elegance, and the timeless beauty of the French Riviera landscape.
