    Stop atHippodrome Deauville La Touques

    The Touques racecourse hosts most of these races during the year, thus gaining the “four season hippodrome” nickname. Its calendar includes 42 days exclusively dedicated to flat races, highlighting thoroughbred horses’ speed abilities. The prestigious Group 1 races and the training centre hosting 300 horses in winter and 600 in summer has attracted the best jockeys and international clients. Ten years ago, the Touques was the first racecourse to include a sand-fibre track, hosting races in winter, when the Normand fields are covered by snow. The turf track is used again when the nice season comes. In this period, the racecourse organizes several prestigious races including the Prix Rothschild, Maurice de Gheest, Jacques Le Marois, Morny, Jean Romanet… and to end the summer season, the Grand Prix de Deauville.

AMAZING

susanhE6235AT, Dec 2024

Wow!! An amazing experience, our driver Thomas was brilliant, informative, his English was far better than our French. He was very knowledgeable & passionate about the history of Deauville. The experience of riding on a motorbike & sidecar was thrilling & something we'd never done before. If you have or not done this before we highly recommend this experience.

Thankyou Thomas a great memory of our holiday.

Great tour and tour guides!!

My driver was Sammie and was awesome! Always smiling telling me stories and pointing out points of interest! The entire experience was once in a lifetime and I highly recommend this tour company!

Fantastic!!!

Z4067PXkatrinag, Dec 2024

Absolutely fantastic! Our pilot, Phillip, was amazing. Very knowledgeable and accommodating. He stopped at an extra stop due to the 80th anniversary of D-Day which was fantastic. We learned new information and stories of WW2 heroes that we will take with us forever. The bike and side car was also an experience in itself, best way to get around town and to bypass the long traffic lines. If you can request a pilot make sure to ask for Phillip!!!

Great experience for a first day in Deauville
