In the early seventies there was a Course de Cote at Beaune-St Romain. This year, for the first time, a non-timed Montée Historique was organised to commemorate it. Held on Easter Sunday it was a nice event for me to spend an hour at, photographing the classic cars, on my way back from Dijon-Prenois. There were over 100 interesting vehicles taking part on this 3km hillclimb. Here are a few of them.

I only spent 45 minutes at this event but enjoyed it and managed to rattle off numerous photos as usual. Great variety of cars, everything from a Hillman Imp to a Bugatti! These Montée Historiques are a great way for classic car owners to have a good time whilst showing off their prized possessions in public.
