NEW DATES : June 18, 19 & 20, 2021
Dear Concours community,
We hope you and your families are safe and healthy as we continue to face the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. We wish to send our deepest sympathy to the families who suffer from it, and to the many businesses and events that are hit so severely and bracing to survive.
For the past five years, the Concours d’Elégance Suisse delivered joy and memorable experiences by bringing people together around the common passion of Automobiles and Design. With the current situation and the absolute need to follow strict protective actions we have decided to postpone the 5th edition of the Concours d’Elégance Suisse to the 18-20 June 2021.
Meanwhile, we will organize a teaser event at the end of September 2020 to celebrate the end of the pandemic and the new beginnings of a revised and even more exciting Concours d’Elégance Suisse.
We are truly grateful for the support of our participants and loyal sponsors, the volunteers, our judges, and the media. You can rest assured that our team is committed to maintain this wonderful tradition and offer you an exciting and memorable event in an exquisite setting.
Should you have any questions, please email us at
THANK YOU!
Mathias Doutreleau
Reviving a Swiss tradition dating back to 1927 in Geneva, the Concours d'Elégance Suisse will celebrate again Automobile Heritage and the Art of mechanical engineering from Friday 18th to Sunday 20th June 2021 in the exquisite setting of the grounds of the Château de Coppet, historic home of Madame de Staël, offering a panoramic view of the Mont-Blanc and Lake Geneva.
In 2021 the Concours d’Elégance Suisse will honor “L’élégance et la vitesse” (Elegance and speed) reflected with a selection of rare and spectacular automobiles from 1920 to 1985.
The Concours d'Elégance Suisse will also pay tribute to precision engineering, a worthy ambassador of Swiss expertise, with an exceptional exhibition of fine timepieces.
Furthermore, the Concours d'Elégance Suisse will also hold exhibitions of masterpieces from artists and artisans themed on the Automobile, offer the opportunity to test-drive the latest models of the event's automotive sponsors, and to complement the "art de vivre" of classic cars, there will be a Culinary Pavilion where you can sample gourmet food specialties and meet up with friends for drinks.
Welcome to the fifth Concours d'Elégance Suisse at the Château de Coppet!
