The RALLY 500 is now made up of two rallies, one linking Nice to Saint-Tropez (mid-September) and the other Paris to Deauville.
The unique feature of this rally is that it is made up entirely of women driving FIAT 500s. This small car has become a symbol of freedom, with its rounded, girly design, daring to come in all possible colors and versions.
The organizer RED EVENING has decided to launch the 3rd edition of Paris Deauville, on October 4 and 5, with an ambitious program that will begin for the first time on Thursday evening with an evening at Fouquet's!
The Paris Deauville 500 Rally is beginning to take root in the women's car rally scene.
For its 3rd edition, this rally, composed solely of the glamorous FIAT 500, will set off from a charming location on the outskirts of Paris, the Charmilles des Cordeliers, a former convent converted into a guesthouse, with an exceptional wooded and flowery park, which provided a high-quality breakfast and a very pleasant country briefing!
But the story began the day before, on Thursday evening, at a party at Fouquet's, that legendary and symbolic place on the Champs-Élysées, where the crews, partners, and friends of the Rallye des 500 gathered to get to know each other and boost the atmosphere, if necessary, for the next two days. Christine MUE, General Delegate of the supported association, Paris Tout P'tits, was able to raise awareness among those present about the cause she defends, that of helping destitute women with young children.
The evening ended late into the night but did not prevent all the crews from being on the starting line early the next day.
The rally then set off on a road trip, roadbook in hand for the co-drivers, which would guide them to the majestic Hôtel Barrière Le Royal in Deauville via a stop in Senonches, then lunch at the Bellême Golf Course, in the heart of the marvelous hills of Perche, with a wild putting competition. The varied landscapes followed one another to the Normandy bocages, then the delightful village of Beaumont-en-Auge to finish on the salty road of the Côte Fleurie.
The crews then deserved a little rest, after many hours in their beautiful, often decorated Fiat 500 and many photos taken, but a short rest because the evening had started again in style at La Folie Douce in Deauville, mixing dinner, show and clubbing to end the evening in style...
The second day also continued with various entertainment and activities. On the program: yoga, a stroll through the heart of the Deauville Market, a personal shopper at Printemps, then an escape game for everyone before heading off to lunch at the Manège, at the Pôle International du Cheval, which was hosting a Show Jumping. And it was off again for the parade in the heart of Deauville, from the Casino to Place Morny... a fiery atmosphere, horns to wake up the whole city, co-drivers passing through the windows or standing in their convertible version! Direction Le Calvados Expérience, this new themed place which magnificently presents the region and the production of Calvados... a delight for all! It was the final venue for the Awards Ceremony: Miss Fiat, La Deauvillaise, Lss Influenceuses, La Matinale, La Golfeuse and of course The Grand Prix of the RALLY 2 Paris Deauville 500...
They all left with their arms full of gifts, their heads full of memories and new friends...
Looking forward to the 500 2020 RALLIES!
