From the Gare du Nord you can easily reach your hotel by Metro or taxi. Public transport is frequent, on time and good value for money. To save time in Paris, we recommend you purchase a ‘Paris Visite’ Pass from St Pancrass International, which allows unlimited travel on all bus, Metro and RER express Metro systems.

Travelling to Longchamp

The renowned Hippodrome de Longchamp in Paris’ Bois du Boulogne, home of the Prix de l'Arc, is easily reached by metro and we will provide you with comprehensive instructions before you travel.
