SAINT-CLOUD RACECOURSE

'Hippodrome de Saint-Cloud' is a grass race course for Thoroughbred flat horse racing opened in 1901 at 1 rue du Camp Canadien in Saint-Cloud near Paris, France. The facilities were built by politician and Thoroughbred owner/breeder Edmond Blanc (1856-1920) in whose honor the Prix Edmond Blanc was established in 1921.
The Hippodrome de Saint-Cloud is host to a number of important races including the Group One Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud held at the end of June/first week of July each year, and the Critérium de Saint-Cloud run each October.
In 1992, the government declared Hippodrome de Saint-Cloud an official Monument historique.
