Racing has taken place at Fontainebleau since 1776, although the first publically attended meeting did not take place until 1862. The Hippodrome de la Solle is situated some 35 miles South East of Paris in the forest region of Fountainebleau. The course has a circumference of 2400 metres with an extended run-in of 750 metres. |
