Bugatti Festival Molsheim 2018, Saturday morning & tour
by Jaap Horst
Photographs Tomás Horst / Jaap Horst
My son Tomás and I arrived on the Friday evening, when the Bugattis already had left Molsheim, so we had dinner in town. Luckily, the first Bugattis were already in the parking lot of our hotel (Le Bugatti, right next to the hostellerie du Pur Sang)
The Saturday morning showed a lot of activity next door, luckily we could catch a ride in with Robert Braunschweig's unique Type 57 Stelvio. Above you see a shot from this car of the brilliant roads through the mountains where the rally went over.
Below: The Bugattis gathering at the Hostellerie before the morning tour.
The first Bugatti we see at the Hostellerie, does not come from Molsheim but from Campogalliano, 600 km away. Still better than the ones coming from nearby Dorlisheim....
Only a few more photo's were taken before departure for the scenic route... Of course we had to register, and also find out about the Bugatti designed tractor of 1908.

Continue with the Saturday afternoon Molsheim square and Chartreuse.
