Petit: A Gunner Great
1 - 4 December, 2024
4 days
London, England
Visit the iconic Arsenal sights, the murals, the old Highbury Stadium gates and witness the Gunners versus the Red Devils on this epic football trip in the company of Gunners’ icon and double winner, Emmanuel Petit. He might be a proud Frenchman, but North London has always been his true home, and Arsenal is in his blood. From Highbury to the Emirates, Petit’s career with the Gunners is full of memories and untold stories that you can ask him all about in a no holds barred Q&A. From the famous chants, to the mastery of Arsene Wenger and what it meant to win the double in ’98.
But it doesn’t stop there. You’ll cook (and eat) up a storm with Petit in a hands-on French-style cooking class, before gearing up for the big Arsenal vs Manchester United clash at the Emirates. With Declan Rice in the midfield, Petit says Arsenal are set for another double this season — after all, he might have taught Declan Rice everything he knows. The North Bank will be loud. Here. We. Go!

Love football, love London. It goes without saying that this city, with its Premier League and Champions’ League-winning teams is one of the most football mad in Europe. From Chelsea to West Ham to Tottenham to Brentford and Arsenal, there’s a team for every taste. And everyone knows the Thames and Tate Modern, iconic London sights, Wembley, too—but have they actually been there?! The first two perhaps, but maybe not the national stadium, home of World Cup-winning sides and huge rock concerts, and those tours are incredible! Either way you’ll want to come visit the Arsenal shop before you leave. The vintage shirts are a steal!

Meet your Legend
EMMANUEL PETIT
‘He’s blond, he’s quick, his name’s a porno flick! Emmanuel, Emmanuel’… so sang the Arsenal fans, wittily, of French midfielder of legend, Emmanuel Petit. A true icon who defined an era with flair and heart, Petit was the powerhouse behind Arsenal’s 1997-98 double-winning season, transforming the team under Arsène Wenger into a force to be reckoned with. His midfield mastery was more than just skill—it was an electrifying presence that drove Arsenal’s revival and changed the Premier League, making every game a showcase of sheer passion and talent.
But Petit’s brilliance wasn’t confined to Arsenal. On the global stage, he lit up the 1998 World Cup, scoring a stunning goal in the final to help France lift the trophy and cement his place as a national hero. His combination of raw power, technical genius, and undeniable charisma made him a footballing sensation and a genuine sex symbol in France. From the pulsating energy of Highbury to the ecstasy of World Cup glory, Petit’s career was a rollercoaster of unforgettable moments and triumphs. He’s not just a footballer; he’s a living legend whose impact still reverberates through north London. Red forever!
