French joie de vivre in store at Valley race nights this May
There will be plenty of joie de vivre at Happy Valley this month as we celebrate the return of Le French May. Over three Wednesday nights - 6, 13 and 20 May - fans can enjoy live performances from French musicians and dancers, an array of French cuisine and fun games offering attractive prizes. There will even be a French flavor to the on-track action, including The Sauternes Cup on 13 May. Tres magnifique! (Photos 1, 2)
Take a French selfie & win
If you’ve never had the chance to visit the scenic spots of France, you’ll have the chance with our selfie game. Snap yourself with one of France’s famous landmarks at the Beer Garden checkpoints and each night you could be on your way to winning a bottle of Krug Grande Cuvee Wine (valued at HK$1,338) and a pair of tickets to a Le French May performance. Every participant will also take home a French Lip wristpad (Photos 3, 4).
For those wanting to try out their French there will also be a chance to win a NOW TV Super Sports Pack (valued at HK$5,290) and a pair of B&O Limited Edition BeoPlay Form 2i Headphones (valued at HK$1,998). Simply head down to the interactive kiosk near the public entrance, learn some handy phrases, shoot and upload a video to your Instagram with the hashtag #FrenchAndHappy and the prizes could be yours. Participants will receive a free “French Bow-Tie” just for playing!

Of course it wouldn’t be a party without some fine French cuisine. The many treats on offer at our Trackside Kiosks include wine selections from the Midi-Pyr?n?es Region, along with mouthwatering delicacies by our own Club Chef in the Beer Garden.
