"Dimanches au Galop” moves over to make space for “L’Hippodrome en Famille”
After 16 renewals of the “Dimanches au Galop”, the new label “L’Hippodrome en Famille” is taking over with an increased fixture list.
“L’Hippodrome en Famille” is a great way to enjoy the thrill of horse racing in a unique setting, whilst making the most of the different free entertainment. There are 30 dates for “L’Hippodrome en Famille”, from April to November, including Sundays but also Saturdays and public holidays, and even during school holidays.
