ONLY £230

First weekend in October

The coach travel starts from the North East of England and the holiday starts from when you get on board.

Although very civilised, there are drinks and food on board as we travel down the country picking up passengers on the way before going through the Channel Tunnel. On the outskirts of Paris we stop for a Bucks Fizz breakfast before a quick tour of the French capital and then on to the hotel in a very nice area of Paris. There are plenty and a choice of restaurants nearby for a free Friday evening

The coach will transport everyone to the races or into Paris city centre on Saturday morning and pick up again in the evening and back into the City Centre again at night for an evening meal (a Sienne cruise with a meal can be arranged at extra cost).

Sunday morning we are off to Longchamp after breakfast for a great day at the races to enjoy the best of European action.

The coach will transport everyone back to the hotel after racing and Sunday evening is free.

Monday morning, bright and early, we set off back to Britain but stop at a drinks warehouse on the way to Calais.

Everything is in place for a great weekend but extras can be added to the itinerary if requested.
