An apotheosis of tradition and elegance, the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe is a quintessentially Parisian occasion. Its international stature draws a plethora of personalities from the worlds of art, fashion,
culture and politics.
It also serves as the meeting place for the chief owners, breeders and representatives of the equestrian authorities from the major racing and breeding nations, who all come to Longchamp to witness what is the greatest horse race in the world.
Some 60,000 racegoers flock to the meeting, including 20,000 British visitors, who set a great example to the rest of the cosmopolitan crowd with their tremendous enthusiasm for racing. The original and electric
atmosphere never fails to impress both racing enthusiasts and spectators attracted by the tantalising prospect of an exceptional sporting event.
Bedecked resplendently with flowers, Longchamp always reserves a special welcome for its visitors. Jazz bands, the Welsh Guards, Irish Guards and the National Police Fanfare guarantee a highly festive atmosphere. The champagne bars “sparkle” and the “Arc Hats” are an irresistible temptation to join in the fun.
But it is around the paddock that the heart of Longchamp beats… owners, trainers, jockeys and the international media enact an incessant ballet amongst the finest horses in the world.
The excitement and tension builds gradually with every passing race. Then, the incredible clamour heralding the great race itself is preceded by an uncanny silence. And finally comes the eagerly awaited crowning of
the winner of the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe the solemn climax of an occasion infused with elegance and excellence.
