HIPPODROME D'AUTEUIL
2 route d'Auteuil aux Lacs, 75016 Paris
Created in 1873 on 33 hectares, the Auteuil racecourse is the mecca of obstacle racing in France, both hurdles and steeplechase. The 2,400-meter track features thirteen obstacles, including the formidable "railditch-and-fence," nicknamed the "justice of the peace" of Auteuil! The racecourse and its magnificent grandstand, designed by architect Walter Destailleur, continue to delight horse racing enthusiasts while attracting a wider audience, thanks in particular to numerous events organized by France Galop, such as "Sundays at the Gallop" for families and the electro music evenings held after the races on the Jockey Disque tracks!
