Paris, France
Friday 3rd – Monday 6th October 2026
We’re offering an exclusive three-night package in October 2026 for the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe – the biggest race in the world and a weekend every racing fan should experience.
The 2025 renewal saw Daryz produce a thrilling late surge under Mickaël Barzalona to deny favourite Minnie Hauk in the final strides, giving trainer Francis-Henri Graffard a famous success for the Aga Khan operation. It was a reminder of just how special this race can be – drama, class and history all rolled into one.
Our hotel is perfectly placed in Montparnasse, one of Paris’ most vibrant areas, surrounded by brilliant restaurants, cafés and bars, making it the ideal base to explore the city. Our Venatour ‘Racing Around The World’ team will be on hand throughout your stay to make sure everything runs smoothly and to point you in the right direction if needed. A fantastic weekend of top-class racing in one of the world’s most beautiful cities.

Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe
ABOUT THE EVENT:
The Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, held every October at the famous Longchamp Racecourse in Paris, is the standout event of the European flat racing season and one of the most iconic races in the world. Simply known as “The Arc,” it brings together the best horses, jockeys and trainers from across the globe for one incredible weekend in the French capital. The atmosphere is always electric, a mix of pure racing drama and Parisian style, with the crowd roaring as the field charges down that famous home straight.
Away from the track, it’s just as special. Longchamp sits in the heart of Paris and offers a brilliant blend of elegance, great hospitality and that unmistakable city buzz. From champagne bars to fine dining, it’s the perfect place to soak up the occasion. Whether you’re a racing fan ticking it off the bucket list or simply fancy a weekend in Paris with world-class sport thrown in, the Arc weekend is something everyone should experience!
DON'T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT.

A great weekend!
Had a great weekend attending The Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, staying in Chantilly.
Everything was very well organised, from arranging flights and airport transfer, to a lovely group meal on the Saturday, giving you an opportunity to meet others on the trip. Looking forward to next year's trip.

A fantastic trip!
Myself and my partner had the pleasure of staying in Chantilly and then attending the Arc de Triomphe. It was a fantastic trip Marc, Simon, Harry and Alex were first class.
I would highly recommend Venatour to anyone. Thank you so much guys.

Arc Weekend
We were very difficult in wanting to do things that did not totally fit in with the norm. We were attracted to the tour by the fact it was based in Chantilly, not some soulless high rise hotel in a Paris suburb. Marc could not have been more helpful and accommodating in making sure everything worked smoothly for us. Everything worked like clockwork and we had a brilliant weekend, great racing as well as other interesting things organised. Marc and Neil were well informed and good company, and were always available for help and advice without being intrusive.

Very skilled in tailoring the experience.
Our first guided tour of any description (being averse to any set itinerary and having the spirit of a cat, like a caged Lion…😁). However Marc was an excellent herder of cats!
Very skilful in tailoring the experience to the individual; we did our own thing but was always kept in the loop and joined the group and events as we wanted. And when Gatwick threw a curveball by cancelling a bunch of flights, Marc and the team juggled all the chaos like pros. Hats off to them - it was purr-fectly handled! Thanks guys loved it.
