History
Named after Cleopatra, the event was established at Saint-Cloud in 1952. The first running was won by Marche Lorraine.
The race was temporarily switched to Maisons-Laffitte in 1990. It was staged at Évry in 1991. It returned to Saint-Cloud in 1992.
The Prix Cléopâtre sometimes serves as a trial for the Prix de Diane. The last horse to win both races was Pawneese in 1976.
