More hats and fashion from Longchamp:
Many images of last month's spectators at the Hippodrome de Longchamps in Paris's Bois de Boulogne, Europe's biggest horse-racing event. (Imagine a race course in Central Park.) Photos by David Holmes. Rather like the Kentucky Derby, it's also a hat parade.

Hats at the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. This is the most prestigious of the races.
