Looking for a little bucolic day to kick off summer? The Grand Prix of Saint-Cloud invites you to experience an exceptional sporting event, featuring horse racing that brings together the best French steeds, happening on Sunday, July 5, 2026! But that's not all — you can picnic on the grass at the heart of the Parisian racetrack, try your hand at painting during a contest, and enjoy family-friendly free activities designed for the little ones.
The Saint-Cloud Grand Prix is open to horses aged four and older, contested over the iconic 2,400-meter distance, similar to the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. Beyond the world of sports and equestrian pursuits, take advantage of these sprawling green spaces to nurture your creative spirit at a painting contest. Capture the vibrant atmosphere of the races on your canvas, all while enjoying a picnic with your feet in the grass!
This event was inspired by the Impressionists, who explored the region with their paintbrushes and a packed lunch, letting their imaginations run wild in the open air. It's a chance to pretend you're Monet, Renoir or Degas for a day, on one of the capital's most beautiful racecourses!
