We hope you will find one or more of our 2012 trips of interest. Please don't hesitate to call or e-mail us if you have any questions or if you would like to be listed to go on one. We look forward to hearing from you and to going racing with you in Europe.
ROYAL ASCOT

A WEEK IN DEAUVILLE
AUGUST 13-20, 2012
8 Days, 7 Nights (including one en route)
Deauville is our favorite place to go racing in the world. It has everything – two racecourses, a seaside location, great dining, old-world elegance, and all of it within walking range of our hotel. Plus France's best horse farms lie just inland. We'll be there for some of the summer season's finest racing, and our trip dates adjoin the start of the big yearling sale. An important part of our week will be a full-day excursion to the 1944 D-Day landing beaches. Deauville combines the best of Saratoga, Del Mar, and Kentucky – and then adds extra.
