Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe 2026

Itinerary for 2026

Step into one of the most prestigious weekends in global horse racing as we travel to Paris for an unforgettable experience centered around the legendary Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. From September 30 through October 4, 2026, guests will immerse themselves in five incredible days celebrating racing, culture, and the timeless elegance of France.

Our journey will begin on September 30, 2026 in Paris with a welcome dinner where everyone can meet, reconnect, and toast to the week ahead. From there, we will set out for a curated series of experiences that blend the best of French racing tradition with iconic Parisian moments.

On October 1, 2026, we will travel to the historic racing town of Chantilly, widely regarded as the heart of French Thoroughbred racing. Chantilly is home to one of the most prestigious training centers in the world, where hundreds of elite racehorses train daily across miles of forest training tracks. Many of Europe’s top trainers are based here, preparing horses for the biggest races on the international calendar. Guests will witness morning training on the gallops, visit a training yard to see how these top athletes are prepared, enjoy lunch in town, and tour the renowned Musée du Cheval, a world-class museum dedicated to the history and culture of the horse. Lunch in Chantilly will be included as part of the day’s experience, and transportation to and from Chantilly will be provided for all guests.

On October 2, 2026, guests will participate in a hands-on pastry making class at Maison Fleuret, learning to craft classic French specialties such as macarons, éclairs, and traditional French bread. Later that evening we will board a dinner cruise along the iconic Seine River, taking in the illuminated skyline and unforgettable views of the Eiffel Tower. The evening cruise experience will feature live musical performances, a four-course meal, and curated wine selections while guests enjoy the most iconic sights of Paris from the water.

On October 3, 2026, we will visit the magnificent Palace of Versailles, where guests will tour the historic palace and its grounds before returning to Paris to attend the prestigious Horses of Racing Age sale hosted by Arqana, offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at elite Thoroughbreds entering the marketplace. Transportation to Versailles and to the sale venue will be included for all guests.

The week culminates on October 4, 2026 at the spectacular Paris Longchamp Racecourse for the running of the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. Guests will enjoy a premium hospitality experience featuring reserved seating, a trackside view, air-conditioned space, and food and beverages while witnessing one of the most celebrated races in the world. We are currently finalizing race day hospitality packages with the racecourse that will provide a premium viewing experience, and transportation to and from the racecourse will be included as part of the experience.

Because race day hospitality packages are released later in the year, we will be opening this experience for early deposits in the coming days to allow interested guests to secure their spot before final pricing is confirmed. This also provides the opportunity to plan ahead and book airfare while we finalize our hotel room block and remaining vendor arrangements.

Pricing for this experience will be $2,800 per person(non-refundable), not including airfare or hotel accommodations. This will be a limited group experience designed for approximately 30 guests, offering an intimate opportunity to experience the culture of French racing while exploring some of the most iconic destinations in Paris.

If attending the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe has been on your bucket list, this will be an extraordinary way to experience it.
