History

The event is named after Royaumont Abbey, an abbey located 12 km from Chantilly. The race was established in 1883, and it was originally contested over 2,100 metres. It was initially reserved for fillies considered below the standard required for the Prix de Diane, which used to be run on the same day.

The Prix de Royaumont was abandoned throughout World War I, with no running from 1915 to 1918. The first two post-war editions were staged at Longchamp.

The race was cancelled once during World War II, in 1940. It was held at Longchamp in 1941 and 1942, and at Le Tremblay with a distance of 2,150 metres in 1943 and 1944. It was contested at Longchamp for the following three years, and it returned to Chantilly in 1948.

The Prix de Royaumont was not run in 1975 because of a strike by stable lads. A new schedule was introduced in 1978, and the race was moved to a date earlier than that of the Prix de Diane.

The event was staged at Longchamp from 1987 to 1990, and it was transferred to Saint-Cloud in 1991. Its distance was extended to 2,400 metres in 1992, and it continued to take place at Saint-Cloud until 1996. The race's only subsequent departure from Chantilly was in 2001, when it was run at Saint-Cloud.

The Prix de Royaumont is now held on the same day as the Prix du Jockey Club.
