The Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe is one of the biggest races in Europe’s flat racing calendar and dates back to 1920. The prize money for the main event of the weekend is worth €5,000,000 which makes it the richest race in Europe and the fifth richest horse race in the world. This weekend of spectacular racing includes several Group 1 races and four Group 2 classed races.
Not only is this the perfect weekend trip away to one of the best races in the world but, a moment for you to explore this incredible City which is so highly regarded for its luxury, style, fashion and food. There are many sites to tick off your list including the Champs-Elysees and the iconic Eiffel Tower.
Overnight experiences are based on two nights accommodation, but longer stays are possible for those looking to extend their time away. We have a range of options available but if you have a specific hotel in mind, get in touch and we will happily put together an option tailored to your requirements including travel options for customers outside the UK.
Selected experiences that we offer, include an exclusive invite to our celebrity drinks evening. This hugely popular event is held on the Saturday evening prior to racing, with stars and celebrities from the racing world joining the panel of speakers on stage to go through the race card and voice their opinions of what results may come the following day.
In 2023 we were joined at le Meridien Etoile Hotel by RacingBreaks.com ambassador Frankie Dettori. He chatted to Racing TV's Tom Stanley who hosted an evening that also welcomed former Champion Jockey's Jim Crowley & Ruby Walsh, with a special appearance from former England Rugby International Lawrence Dellaglio.
