Luxury Classic Car Experiences in France, VIP Corporate Events and Bespoke Road Trips

At Cartis, we believe that France's heritage is a priceless treasure, forged over the centuries by generations of craftsmen, architects, poets and thinkers. Every stone, every painting, every landscape tells a part of France's soul and identity.

The French art of living is part of this rich heritage, a way of life imbued with refinement and elegance that we owe it to ourselves to preserve for future generations.

Our ambition: to bring this heritage to life through the rare and refined prism of the classic car.

For more than five years, Cartis has been designing exclusive, tailor-made experiences aboard iconic classic cars - with or without driver - for private groups and leading luxury houses. Each itinerary celebrates the French art of living, a blend of emotion, excellence and authenticity.

From executive seminars and top-of-the-range incentives to VIP invitations, brand activations and press days, we transform your events into sensorial, memorable and deeply distinctive journeys.

Offer your guests more than just a ride: an immersion in rare luxury, aboard legendary vehicles. A suspended moment, where every bend reveals the beauty of a heritage, and every detail bears witness to exception.

Treat your guests to an immersive journey behind the wheel of iconic classic cars.

Because the event you organize has to be exceptional for your VIP guests, we offer you the only private collection of iconic cars in concours condition from the 1950s and 1960s.

Take the wheel or let our professional chauffeurs drive you around in these works of automotive art. On the roads of France, off the beaten track, you'll discover a majestic château, a church imbued with mystery, the terroir of a wine estate or the passionate work of a local producer.

Our Jaguar 420 to rent with Cartis

A private collection of exceptional classic cars, curated exclusively for your VIP events.

Each classic car in the Cartis private collection has been passionately selected over the last 20 years. Maintained by classic car professionals, they bear witness to the exceptional automotive design and craftsmanship of the 1950s-1960s.

Choose from these iconic models to give your VIC event a touch of unrivalled refinement and authenticity.

Give your guests the privilege of riding in cars identical to those driven by Brigitte Bardot, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean or Steve McQueen, and immerse them in the golden age of the automobile.

Your guests will have the opportunity to drive or be chauffeured in the same vintage cars once favored by cinematic icons such as Brigitte Bardot, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, and Steve McQueen. These exceptional vehicles are more than just cars; they are symbols of timeless elegance and adventure, offering a once-in-a-lifetime driving experience.
