The 2025 Festival had a Type 59 theme, and the organizing club, the "Enthousiastes Bugatti Alsace" managed to get an unprecedented number of T59's, T59/50B's and even a couple of T59/50S cars together. The programme started on the Thursday, September 11, however, we arrived Thursday-evening, and participated from the Friday morning. While walking into a restaurant on the Thursday evening, we directly met with four friends, also from the Netherlands. On the Friday there was a series of longer and shorter drives, first to a Brewery in Saverne, followed by a Lunch in Wasselonne and a visit to an agricultural tools museum. In the evening, there was the opening of the new "Les Bugattistes" Restaurant, followed by, of course, dinner.
The Saturday was special; first there was a reception / breakfast at the Chateau St. Jean, organized by the modern Bugatti who had their own rally, on the occasion of 20 years of the Bugatti Veyron. A special exhibit was organized, including some of the early prototypes, including the first appearance of the prototype designed by Walter da Silva. From there, all Classic Bugatti's went to the Anneau du Rhin racetrack, where all drivers were invited to "race".
The schedule on the Sunday was as it has been the last few years, Breakfast in Dorlisheim. In Dorlisheim, a ceremony is held at the cemetery where many of the family members found their peace; of course Ettore and his wife Barbara and their son Jean and daughter l'Ebé, Ettore's brother Rembrandt, sister Deanice and their parents Carlo Bugatti and Therèse Lorioli.
The photographs are organized below, per day and per specific visit. There are also two short movies, which can be seen also in the BugattiPage / BugattiRevue Youtube channel
