History

The event was established in 1867, and it was initially held at Chantilly. It was named after the Princes of Condé, the former owners of the Château de Chantilly. It was originally contested over 2,000 metres.

The race was transferred to Longchamp in 1907. It was abandoned throughout World War I, but there was a substitute version at Chantilly in 1917.

The Prix de Condé was cancelled once during World War II, in 1939. It was run at Auteuil in 1940 and Maisons-Laffitte in 1943, both with a distance of 1,800 metres. It was staged at Le Tremblay in 1944.

The present system of race grading was introduced in 1971, and the Prix de Condé was classed at Group 3 level. It was cut to 1,800 metres in 1985.
