On the starting line of the Rallye de Princesses

It is a tradition for me: I never miss the gathering of classic cars on the Place Vendôme which symbolizes the starting line of the Rallye des Princesses. The route of the rallye starts in Paris and ends in St Tropez. But today the St Tropez weather was already on Paris with a bright sunshine. So it was for me a great pleasure to see these cards which will be driven by ladies during the next days. Obviously, Richard Mille remains the main sponsor of the event for two reasons: to focus on women (ladies' watches have a significant role in the brand strategy) and on classic cars.

So here are the pics taken in the Paris heat:

The inside is as beautiful:



A last  overview of the Place Vendôme:



It was a very nice walk and it is a true privilege to be able to see these classic cars so close. So I would like to thank the organization of the Rallye des Princesses to organize such event in a location open to the public.
