Visit the Clairefontaine racecourse with a jockey
Let Yves Talamo, former jockey and winner of the tierce on several occasions, guide you.
Although he was not destined for this career but for that of a restaurateur, he ran and won numerous races in the featherweight category (under 44 kg) in flat races for 32 years! When he retired, he decided to pass on his knowledge to the younger generation and became a trainer at the jockeys' school (AFASEC) and then a spotter at the Clairefontaine racecourse. Lookout?
It consists in signaling from the racetrack the slightest incident of race. He also shares his passion for horses during guided tours, sometimes accompanied by Louis Auriemma, also known as Luigi, also a former jockey who trains future competitors. These two experts in the field will be your guides for a two-hour visit to the heart of the racetrack - which they know like the back of their hand - with stories and anecdotes.
