Une collaboration de longue date...

Ainsi Vicomte A., féru de voitures anciennes, est le  partenaire officiel du Tour Auto  depuis sept ans maintenant au travers de la  collection Tour Auto 2023 , événement qui constitue une véritable rétrospective et la plus ancienne épreuve de compétition automobile en activité.

Des pièces chics et audacieuses

Le gentleman rider dans toute sa splendeur : libre et intrépide . Cheveux au vent, regard ténébreux, il fend l’air au volant de sa belle cylindrée. On pense à Jean-Louis Trintignant dans “ Un homme et une femme ” (Claude Lelouch), qui part à la poursuite d’Anouk Aimé dans sa mythique Ford Mustang. Quelle allure ! Quel romantisme !

Cet esprit téméraire et aventurier se marie parfaitement avec le style sport chic mâtiné d’audace propre à Vicomte A. 

Une association naturelle et évidente tant les valeurs de cet évènement d’exception sont communes à celles de la marque : élégance, sportivité, art de vivre à la française. 

La collection capsule Tour Auto, un hommage au sport automobile

En hommage à cet univers fascinant et aux pilotes mythiques qui l’habitent, Vicomte A. allie esprit du sport et tailoring.

Ce qui donne un vestiaire pour hommes, femmes et même enfants composé de produits iconiques, comme le polo , le t-shirt , la doudoune sans manches et la veste de pilote , déclinés en tricolore.

Tour Auto 32nd Edition

Rally News | February 2023

HOME » Magazine » February 2023 » Rally News » Tour Auto 32nd Edition

Since the opening of the entries in last November, more than 200 entry requests for the 2023 Tour Auto have been received by the Peter Auto team.   The first list of entrants was revealed in December and contains the names of many regular historic racers, such as Michael Birch/Gareth Burnett (Ford GT40), as well as names like Thierry Boutsen and Henri Pescarolo, both driving Shelby Cobras.

Starting with scrutineering at the Grand Palais Ephémère, its’ home for the last two years while the Grand Palais undergoes refurbishment, the cavalcade will take a 2,000km route through the beautiful backroads of France to finish in Cannes on the French Riviera.   Beaune, Clermont-Ferrand and Valence are all stopover cities, with a fourth one yet to be revealed.   Drivers will compete on the circuits of Dijon-Prenois, Bresse, Charade and Paul Ricard along the way, and on 10 closed-road special stages, which are only revealed at the last minute.   The Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte has been chosen as the official rally start.  

Exceptional cars, exceptional scenery: Along with race circuits and special stages, the Tour Auto also offers stunning French scenery and culture

Each year Peter Auto designates a model or feature to promote for preferential entries and treatment, and this year several models will be in the spotlight.   First, there will be a Zagato retrospective, with a special focus on Alfa Romeo, from the 1900 SSZ of the 1950s to the Giulia TZ of the mid-1960s, but not forgetting the Fiat 8V Zagato, the Fiat Abarth 700 and 750 Zagato, and the Lancia Flavia and Flaminia, which were bodied by the famous coachbuilder.  

There will also be a tribute to the “Good Old English cars” that left their mark on the Tour de France Automobile in the ‘50s, such as AC Ace and Aceca, Aston Martin DB2 and DB2/4, Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica, Austin Healey, Jaguar XK120, 140, 150 and C-Type, Sunbeam Alpine and Triumph TR2 and TR3.   Dates are 16-34 April.

🏁 regularity rally & competition 🇫🇷 paris – biarritz.

INTRODUCTION

historical version of one of the oldest car rallies in the world, original conception alternating timed sessions on road & circuit, with a unique atmosphere: the tour auto is one of the few events in the world that any historic car enthusiast would not miss.

Created in 1899 by the Automobile Club de France, the Tour Auto is the oldest motor racing event still in operation. It has become one of the most prestigious rallies in the world, attracting legendary makes such as Ferrari, Porsche, Jaguar, Mercedes, Maserati, Matra driven by equally renowned drivers such as Maurice Trintignant, Stirling Moss, Phil Hill, Bernard Darniche, Jean Pierre Beltoise, Henri Pescarolo … In the 1980s, economic constraints linked to the oil crisis weakened the event and 1986 saw the 50 th and last edition of the Tour Auto take place, at least in the version it was in at the time.

The revival of this event in 1992 (already over thirty years ago!) in the form of a historical retrospective, was an immediate success. Three years were enough to establish the event as one of the world’s most important automobile events for major collectors.

2024 EDITION

Long-awaited by fans of the event, the route of the Tour Auto 2024 has now been revealed. Starting in Paris, Tours (La Grange de Meslay), Limoges, Carcassonne, Pau and finally Biarritz will be the stage towns for each day from 21 to 27 April. Drivers will compete on the Le Mans, Val de Vienne, Nogaro and Pau Arnos circuits !

E-Voucher Tour Auto Exhibition

Visit the exhibition on Sunday 21 and Monday 22 April 2024 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles.

Vicomte A store launch party

Fact: Pippa Middleton likes dancing on sofas, and so when Arthur de Soultrait 's Vicomte A store launch party night went from polite to super-fun, Pippa was the first to climb up on the upholstery and throw some moves. Charles Astor , Alex Marx, Victoria Aitken and Charlie Fellowes had also sauntered to the new flagship store on the King's Road for celebratory bubbles and a late-night shop, along with Ed Taylor , who chatted to Olivia Grant and Diego Bivero-Volpe , while Henry Conway and Orlando Hamilton compared rings. Then Arthur led a lucky few over to the Brompton Club for dinner and dancing (some people were so desperate for an invite, they even offered to buy a place) and after a yummy three-course feast, Pippa jumped up on the sofas to dance and everyone followed, only stopping when the clock struck 3am. It was so good, one guest even missed a morning flight. Mighty fun.

Vodka Museum Tour with transport (excursion only)

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

Moscow, a City Like No Other

Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you.
