There are Sundays that carry the scent of wisteria, fresh-cut grass... and perfectly polished car bodies! On Sunday, 12 April 2026, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., the Château de Dampierre reopens its gates and welcomes back the Bal des carrosseries, a display of classic, sports and prestige cars organized with the auto/moto club O’Thoiry Club. In this princely setting tucked in the heart of the Chevreuse valley, around 70 vehicles will line the château’s courtyards for a day where the venue’s elegance complements the beauty of the machinery.
Following the success of the 2025 edition, which drew a crowd of curious onlookers, the event returns as one of spring’s most highly anticipated rendezvous in the Yvelines. Here, the gleam of chrome meets the region’s heritage: radiant chrome, sleek lines, timeless silhouettes… each car seems to find at the château a frame worthy of its stature.
Whether you're a fan of fine machinery, a lover of classic cars, or simply looking for a pleasant day out in Île-de-France, the exhibition promises a bucolic escape where you can enjoy, with the same pleasure, both a historic courtyard and a gleaming car body.
At the estate’s regular rate, with online booking or on-site the day of, this outing is a perfect excuse to head to Dampierre and enjoy a Sunday that’s anything but ordinary.
At the Dampierre Estate, spring will undoubtedly look its finest.
