Longchamp Tips and Racecourse Guide
Longchamp, sometimes known as ParisLongchamp, is the jewel in the French Racing crown and plays host to Europe’s premier race in October, the €5,000,000 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe over 12 furlongs.
Longchamp represents the best of what French Racing has to offer, providing an outstanding racecourse and a relaxed environment for patrons.
The racing program includes the French Guineas in May, the Prix Ganay, the Grand Prix de Paris, the Prix du Cadran and a magnificent undercard on Prix de l’Arc weekend.
The crowd swells on Arc Sunday and the recently-renovated grandstand holds a capacity of 60,000.
In response to some frustration about being drawn wide, particularly over a mile for the Guineas, France Galop have introduced a cut-away just over two furlongs from home which is used for major fixtures.
Longchamp has a sprint course on the infield which plays host to the best French sprinters in the run up to the Prix de l’Abbaye, as well as some two-year-old races.

I’m heading back to Longchamp this afternoon and despite the midweek heartache with the well-handicapped Morea, we go again in handicap company!
I’ve waited to post this until seeing a few races to get an idea as to how the 4.35pm may pan out, given that the well-handicapped favourite, Loliwood, is a hold-up horse and doesn’t like the ground too testing.
Loliwood clocked fast fractions when last seen in Listed company at Saint-Cloud and probably found herself on the wrong part of the track in the final furlong. She needs to be held up, so despite having good course form here at Longchamp, it is a big concern for her supporters that three of the four winners already this afternoon made almost all the running and the other winner, Fortune, was placed handily throughout.
Territorywar got a big mention in a Race Sharp Stable Tour by Delcher-Sanchez in April after he won his maiden (read more here) and makes plenty of appeal on his handicap debut in the race. He has certainly been described to us as a 40+ horse and his rating of 39.5 looks lenient based on his spring form with both Bolchoi and Faro de San Juan. Moreover, this will be just his fifth start of the year and there was plenty of like about his Vichy return last month when narrowly beaten by five-furlong specialist Josejoséphine over her trip.
He showed plenty of pace and we know he gets further. Drawn in two today, even if they come away from the rail, as they did in the Quinte, Barzalona should be able to get Territorywar in a good position in order to use his turn of foot. Hopefully Territorywar can be his stable’s third winner of the weekend after Zudu Spirit won yesterday and Sword Song created a small shock in the opener today.
4.35pm Longchamp – 2pts win Territorywar @ 4-1 (all firms)

How to get there
Metro
Longchamp is served by metro stations to the north-east and south-east of the racecourse. Above Longchamp, patrons can take the Metro Line 1 to Porte Maillot and then a shuttle on major racedays and Sundays from the bus stop of the 244 bus. Alternatively, they can take the Metro Line 10 to Porte d’Auteuil and the shuttle bus leaves from the top of the station at street level.
The shuttle adds time to the journey but from then it is a non-stop transfer, making the small wait worthwhile.
Taxi
If you are treating yourself to a trip to Longchamp whilst on holiday or are able to split the fare, a taxi makes sense, even from Central Paris or Gare du Nord.
An Uber costs about €35 from Central Paris to the racecourse and takes half an hour.
Fly
Longchamp can be reached via Charles de Gaulle or Orly airports. Orly is much closer and is well worth selecting if you can. From there, it is a 40-minute taxi to the racecourse.
