Arc Weekend

Hi,

Could anyone recommend a hotel anywhere near Longchamp, finding it very difficult finding one. If not has anyone any idea what the transport links to the racecourse from the city are like?

Thanks

The hippodrome is in the Bois de Boulogne, in the 16th arron. of Pairs and very near Neuilly. Either would make a good base for your visit.

If you check out their official site, you will get all the details you need on getting to/from the drome via public transport, but it is in French. http://www.prixarcdetriomphe.com/Long.htm#3

The most important thing to know is that there will be shuttles every ten minutes from the Porte d%26#39;Auteuil metro station and Porte Maillot #244 bus stop. It would also be easy to take a taxi.

Thanks Phread.

A nice hotel in the 16th is the Regent%26#39;s Garden, built by Napoleon for his doctor.

Hi snowy, we booked for the arc weekend a couple of years ago but unfortunately booked the weekend after by mistake, we still went and we stayed at the Novotel in Sevres. It was lovely and clean, central, Sevres is walking distance to the race track as we had a wander over to have a look at what we missed. It%26#39;s a bit far out if you are planning to visit Paris centre but ideal for the arc.

Enjoy
