If you follow motoring news, you’ve no doubt heard of the Rallye des Princesses. A regular event founded in 2000 and now under the control of Peter Auto, the organizer of Tour Auto. But this promotion, intended only for women, is not the only one, because there is another, less well-known, but much more accessible. It is about Lady Prestige Tour, which this year will be held from September 21 to 23. The event organized by the association Culture et Evasion in New Aquitaine for the 8th year in a row.

That’s it, Team Automobelle has joined the Lady Prestige Tour 2018… and we’re off to explore the most beautiful roads of the Saint Emilionnais wine regions 🚖#ladyprestizhtur2018 #automobile #ladydriver #Жиночерали pic.twitter.com/IjeDjFAWNY

The regularity of the rally

On paper, this event has a lot in common with the Rallye des Princesses. In fact, it is a 100% women’s event, although it is open to men for the first time in this edition of 2023. It is open to vintage and prestige cars, whether they are sporty or not, and replicas are also eligible. The program includes three days of riding on good roads of the region, with no concept of speed. This is really a normal rally that in no way encourages racing and fast driving. Speed ​​is regularly checked at checkpoints.

Idyllic setting

But the Lady Prestige Tour is also its own experience, a combination of luxury, culture and gastronomy. Each crew is accommodated in four or five-star hotels, several breaks and lunches are organized, as well as conferences and other openings. A cocktail is also organized for the participants, the number of which is limited at their own request for greater friendliness. Registration lasts until June 30.
