The famous Longchamp racecourse is situated in the Bois de Boulogne in Paris, approximately 11 kilometres from the city centre. It has held races since 1857 with the first meeting being held on 27th April of that year when Napoleon III was in attendance. The right handed oval turf course, the Gran Piste course has a perimeter of 14 furlongs, while other courses include the Petite Piste (10 furlongs), the Nouveau Piste (7 furlongs), the Moyenne Piste (12 furlongs) and the Ligne Droite (5 furlongs). Arguably viewed as France's most prestigious racecourse, it hosts the Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe each October. First held in 1920, for 3 year olds and upwards, over a mile and a half, it is rightly seen as one of the most important races in Europe. That first running was won by Comrade ridden by Frank Bullock and trained by Peter Gilpin. Ksar then won it in both 1921 and 1922. Continuing the theme of double winners, Corrida was the next to score back to back wins in 1936 and 1937 before War intervened from 1939 to 1940 forcing the event to be cancelled. Tantieme 1950 and 1951 and Ribot 1955 and 1956 repeated the famous double. Lester Piggott got Alleged home twice in 1977 and 1978 having previously partnered Rheingold in 1973. Other principal races include the Grand Prix De Paris in July, the Poule DEssai Des Pouliches (1000 Guineas), and Poule DEssai Des Poulains (2000 Guineas) in May.  The latter two races were first contested in 1883, although prior to this date the Poyle DEssai was held from 1840 onwards at the Champ De Mars, the inaugural running being won by Giges. Whilst a list of Prix De LArc De Triomphe winners is readily available on the internet, winners of the French equivalent of the 1000 Guineas and 2000 Guineas are given below.
