Auteuil Racecourse
Auteuil Racecourse is a horse-racing track in Bois de Boulogne, Paris, France. It opened in 1873 at Route des Lacs.
History
The racetrack is exclusive for steeplechase racing covering 33 hectares at the Route des Lacs in the Bois de Boulogne, Paris, France, operating since November 1, 1873, and operated by France Galop.
It is the central obstacle course in France and hosted the equestrian events of the 1924 Summer Olympics. The racetrack had its first redevelopment in that same year when they constructed the new stone stands and built an outdoor track with sturdy obstacles for steeplechases. Then major enhancement of the tracks and facilities began in 1967, where they also built the ring road and relocated the stables and the paddock. Then in 1971, access to the site was enhanced when two pedestrian tunnels were constructed under the tracks that lead to the Porte d’Auteuil and the Porte de Passy. The stands were also renovated, and an indoor swimming pool was dug in one of the lawns. Improvements and renovations lasted until 1975, and throughout these redevelopment phases, Auteuil never halted its races and was always open. Every year, they hold 40 meetings.
