Our bespoke packages combine official Arc tickets, luxury accommodation, exclusive hospitality, and curated Parisian experiences for the ultimate horse racing holiday; luxury, culture, and sport in perfect harmony.

Day 1

Start your Arc adventure in style with a comfortable Eurostar journey from London to Paris. On arrival, your private transfer will be waiting to whisk you across the city to your home for the weekend — the iconic Le Bristol, where you’ll stay in a Deluxe Room with a tranquil garden view. Settle in and enjoy your first evening at leisure; perhaps a stroll along the Seine or dinner at one of Paris’s celebrated brasseries.

Day 2

Spend the day exploring Paris at your own pace. Soak up the art and architecture, shop in the Marais, or relax at a pavement café and watch the world go by. For those looking for something extra-special, we can arrange an optional private excursion to Chantilly, including a guided visit of a prestigious stud farm and a glimpse into France’s equestrian heritage.

Day 3

It’s race day! Make your way to Longchamp Racecourse, where your Gold Grandstand seats await. From this prime position, you’ll witness the world’s finest thoroughbreds compete for glory in Europe’s greatest race. Feel the atmosphere build as the Arc unfolds — and savour the style, excitement, and sporting drama that make this event so iconic.

Day 4

After breakfast and a final morning to soak up Paris’s charm, your private transfer will take you to Gare du Nord for your Eurostar journey home, bringing your unforgettable Arc weekend to a close.
