If you want to relax, away from the hustle and bustle of the Paris streets, and see the Parisians at their most excitable and animated, then you should head for the Hippodrome de Long Champ. One of he most famous of the seven race tracks that surround Paris, this venue hosts a variety of horse racing events throughout the year against the beautiful backdrop of the Bois de Boulogne. There are fewer better ways to spend a barmy Parisian afternoon.
