Great Elegance under the Stars

6th annual edition – first evening format

On August 8, 2026, Auto Elégance Center invites you to La Grande Élégance sous les étoiles, its 6th annual open house.

This year, the event is completely changing its atmosphere. After five daytime editions, La Grande Élégance is switching to an evening format with a concept designed to make an impression: a car meet under the stars, inspired by the ambiance of old-fashioned drive-ins.

Cars, music, food truck, evening film, folding chairs, and automotive passion: everything is brought together to create a different, unifying, and memorable experience. This is not a classic open house. It's an evening for enthusiasts, families, customers, and all those who want to experience cars differently.

For car aesthetics enthusiasts, the evening will also be an opportunity to see detailing in action. Demonstrations, tool trials, team advice, and products used on site: visitors will be able to see what works, ask their questions, and discover solutions adapted to their vehicle.

On the program: VIP in-store sale, exclusive promotions, detailing demonstrations, tool trials, Show & Shine, entertainment, door prizes, comedy show with William Paquet, surprise opening act, film under the stars, music, popcorn, slush, and several surprises on site.

The event is totally free, with the exception of the food truck, which will offer a varied menu on site.

The first 200 arrivals will receive free popcorn and slush to fully enjoy the drive-in atmosphere. Arriving early will clearly be an advantage.

The goal is to create a festive, family-friendly, and responsible evening, where automotive passion is experienced with respect for the venue, participants, vehicles, and road safety.
