The Prix d'Amérique — and every nocturne of the season
The Prix d'Amérique, on the last Sunday of January, is the world championship of trotting and the one day the Bois de Vincennes truly jams: tens of thousands of racegoers, an international crowd flown in from Scandinavia, Italy and beyond, saturated access roads and car parks full before the big race. We run all weekend — airport pickups for owners and guests, staggered hotel collections for groups, and a fixed return the moment the last race is run, when every unbooked car in the east of Paris has already vanished. One rule from experience: book several days ahead. On Amérique Sunday, the pre-booked cars are the only ones that exist.
The rest of the year, Vincennes lives by night. The Friday nocturnes — racing under floodlights from the first start to the last, dinner served in the panoramic restaurant above the finish line of the renovated grandstand — are one of the best-kept evenings in Paris, and the winter meeting from November to February packs the calendar with them. Regulars keep it simple with a chauffeur on hourly disposal — €79/h in Business Class, €109/h in a Business Van, €150/h in First Class, 2-hour minimum: the car waits through the card, warm and ready in the winter cold, and leaves whenever you do — after the fifth race or after coffee, long past the hour when the Bois has emptied.
For hospitality boxes and corporate evenings at the trot, our event service coordinates several cars and vans under one booking — one contact, staggered pickups, a single grouped return. Owners, drivers' connections and guests who want the quietest possible night take First Class, with a chauffeur used to late finishes and discreet exits. And if you are staying in the area rather than passing through, our Vincennes chauffeur service covers the town and the château side of the Bois. For a multi-car programme or a full Prix d'Amérique weekend, talk to us directly — those are quoted per programme.
