Château Réal d’Or invites you to travel back in time for a day to remember

Nestled at the foot of the Massif des Maures and surrounded by hundred-year-old cork oak forests and majestic umbrella pines, our estate enjoys a sumptuous setting with a dreamlike quality to it. And on Saturday, 6th October, this unique location in the heart of Provence will be the setting for the very first edition of the Château Réal d’Or car auction, run by Réal d’Or Events.

INDULGE YOURSELF WITH THE CAR OF YOUR DREAMS…

In little over a week, the Château Réal d’Or is preparing for a red letter day in its history. In fact, for the very first time, the chateau will be hosting a major event; an exceptional day whose high point is a grand car auction.

The Réal d’Or Events teams who are running the event drew inspiration for the auction from the biggest automobile meets in the genre and the auction we are presenting to you today will surely become an unmissable event in the calendar for any self-respecting car enthusiast.

Numerous vintage cars selected from among the most famous models in the history of the automobile will be on sale at the auction presided over by Stanislas Machoi, Auctioneer, for the delectation of future buyers.

Here is a selection of the stunning cars that you will have the opportunity to acquire during this event:

– Ferrari 599 GTO

– Ferrari Testarossa

– Facel Vega

– Ford Escort of Timo Mäkinen

– Rolls Royce

– Chevrolet Camaro SS

– Jaguar MKII 3.8

– Lotus Europe

– Bentley Continental GT

You can discover some of the other vehicles on the Réal d’Or Events website, as well as on the big day itself.

AN EXCEPTIONAL DAY

Réal d’Or Events will also be auctioning off “Automobilia” lots on which you can bid, where you will be able to choose from a selection of prestigious watches or jeroboams autographed by big names in motorsport, including:

– Lewis Hamilton

– Sebastian Vettel

– Alain Prost

– Kimi Raikonnen

– Daniel Ricciardo

– Fernando Alonso

– Romain Grosjean

– Valtteri Bottas

– Jacques Villeneuve

Other big names in the automobile world also contributed to the event by signing the labels of the Château’s jeroboams, including Jean-Pierre Jarier, Franck Montagny, Stephane Ortelli, Gilles Panizzi, Pierre Lartigue, Mark Weber, César Baroni, Thierry Neuville, Esteban Ocon, Jean-Pierre Nicolas, Nicolas Minassian, as well as French football star and recent World Champion Adil Rami and his girlfriend Pamela Anderson.

The funds raised from this sale will be donated to two associations from Gonfaron, the village where the Château Réal d’Or is located.

The exhibition of the lots will take place during a garden party where visitors will be able to discover the works of the famous sculptor Michel Audiard, and the painter Michel Bonnard.

At the same time, the Sénéquier To Go and Gillardeau oyster house establishments will provide accompaniments to the Château Réal d’Or wine tasting that will take place before the auction starts at 3pm.

DON’T MISS OUT ON THE CAR OF YOUR DREAMS

Last but not least, if you are unable to go to the Château Réal d’Or’s car auction and you want to bid on one of the vehicles on sale, please note that you will be able to put in a bid remotely, through this website.

Organised by Réal d’Or Events, this special day marks the first in a long series of events like this. The organisers would like to hold similar auctions on a regular basis, so let
us wish them all the success that they deserve.
