The southern French town of Aix-les-Bains made history this weekend by hosting the country’s first camel race featuring international competitors, with Dubai-based American rider Isabella Leslie crossing the line first.
Her victory was witnessed by some 3,000 spectators, including several VIPs and representatives from the International Camel Racing Federation.
The event, which saw camels racing on a 300-meter track, marked a new milestone in spreading the sport of camel racing across France and the rest of Europe.”
