Deauville Racecourse

I would like to know if you are charged to go in to watch horse racing in France in the week.

Answer: Horse racing entry fees in France are generally lower than you would pay in the UK (£7 is typical).

When I visited Deauville Racecourse in 2010 the entrance fee on Friday was 4 euros. But we picked up a free entrance pass at a tourist office in town so that may be worth trying.
