The Arc de Triomphe, Paris Longchamp 2025 Advent Calendar 2024 Day 22

A Magical Weekend in Paris

Our partners at Solario Racing have put together an all-inclusive package for a weekend break in Paris, the weekend of the Arc de Triomphe, Friday 4 October to Monday 7 October (3 nights).

Paris, the world’s most romantic city is famous the world over for the iconic Eiffel Tower, Sacre Coeur and the River Seine.

Renowned for gastronomic fayre and fine wine, it also plays host to Europe’s richest horse race, the Group One Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp.​

The weekend has been carefully planned, allowing you time to explore Paris on the Saturday while going to see Europe’s richest horse race on the Sunday with restaurants laid on for your pleasure for all three evenings.​

Your host for the weekend Simon Double – Horseracing Manger

With a wealth of experience in the racing industry, having managed successful racing syndicates at the highest level for 25 years, Simon will bring his expertise to the evening.

Hi co-founded Pat Eddery Racing with the then former 11-time champion jockey. He then successfully launched Harwoodds Racing Club before setting up his own company Solario Racing in 2010

Simon will be on hand throughout the weekend to make sure you have the best experience possible. Fellow guests will include some owners who Simon has managed for throughout the years.

The all-inclusive package includes:

  • Eurostar return and taxis to and from hotel
  • Three night’s accommodation including breakfast, in the Hotel Champerret Elysees in the heart of Paris, 1½km from the Arc de Triomphe (the monument).
  • Restaurant meals on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings (aperitif, three courses and ½ bottle per person at each meal). The restaurants are all within easy walking distance of the hotel and Solario Racing has dined at all three.
  • The three restaurants are:
    • ~ Phebe ~ fine French dining in an intimate art deco restaurant par excellence
    • ~ Le Cyran ~ a vibrant authentic French bistro
    • ~ Bacino ~ a cosy, informal Italian
  • Longchamp – Gold Arrival Lawn racecourse entrance with reserved area in front of theWinning Post, a glass of Champagne, raceday programme, light refreshments & taxis to & from the course.

Oh and one or two little extras! To start as you mean to go on, there will be champagne and canapés on board the Eurostar going to Paris.
