Location : CHANTILLY ( around Paris)
Description : The Diane Prize is a horse race that takes place every year in June at Chantilly racecourse. In an exceptional setting, at the foot of the castle and the Grand Stables of the Princes of Condé, this race meeting is a combination of sporting performance and feminine elegance. Since 1843, fashionistas in extraordinary hats have come here to rub shoulders with experts in galloping races.
The Diane Prize offers nine horse races that are run at breakneck speed. The prize is awarded to the best European filly on a distance of 2,100 metres, at an average speed of 60 km/hour. A chic lunch on the grass and a free concert are organised on the lawn. The event attracts around 30,000 visitors every year.
