One of the greatest horse races in the world, it's up there with next weekend's Grand National at Aintree. And making it to the famous Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in Paris has been on my bucket list for nearly 30 years.

Hoofing it to France for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe is a dream for

Last year I finally got the chance to go and it didn't disappoint.

My trip was organised by Racing Breaks who sorted out everything - Eurostar, hotel, transfers, raceday tickets. Our three-day weekend trip to Paris came in at £449.

We stayed at the Novotel right next to the Eiffel Tower. It was a lovely hotel with a great, and very friendly, ground floor bar in a fantastic location.

While the package is not cheap, it's not particularly expensive either, and the fact the whole thing was organised, with specialist staff on hand in Paris to sort out any problems, took away any stress.

And what is particularly noteworthy is that any Racing Breaks trips can be reserved for just. 10%, giving people the chance to budget and save.

More and more racing fans are looking at breaks abroad. Other star races on offer include the Melbourne Cup in Australia and the Breeders' Cup and Kentucky Derby in the US. There's even racing in Japan, Dubai, the Czech Republic and Hong Kong.

But it also provides all-inclusive packages for meetings closer to home including Cheltenham, Ascot, Aintree, Goodwood and several meetings in Ireland.
