La rade classique (vintage car racing) 6 pictures
🏁 La Rade Classique 2025 — Villefranche-sur-Mer
Hello steemit !
This past weekend, I had the joy of capturing one of the most elegant automotive events on the French Riviera: La Rade Classique in Villefranche-sur-Mer. Organized by the Automobile Club de Nice, the event brought together more than 120 classic cars from all over Europe, blending mechanical heritage with breathtaking landscapes.
The day began under a light haze, as clouds wrapped around the perched village of Sainte-Agnès. This mysterious atmosphere quickly gave way to sunshine, revealing vibrant colors and polished chrome reflecting off the sea. Every curve of the winding roads offered an opportunity for the perfect shot — and the vehicles, from pre-war racers to mid-century icons, were a true feast for the eyes.
From the elegant Morgan Aero gleaming on a deserted lookout, to a proud Ferrari Dino parked in front of a sun-drenched Hôtel de Ville, every car told a story. And the people — enthusiasts, mechanics, drivers — added warmth and authenticity to this visual symphony of metal, oil, and passion.
For me, as a photographer, this event was about more than beautiful cars. It was about time travel on four wheels. It was about patience and precision — both behind the wheel and behind the lens.
