Prix de Royaumont introduced in 1978, and the race was moved to a date earlier than that of the Prix de Diane. The event was staged at Longchamp from 1987 to 1990, and it was transferred to Saint-Cloud in 1991. Its distance was extended to 2,400 metres in 1992, and it continued to take place at Saint-Cloud until 1996. The race's only subsequent departure from Chantilly was in 2001, when it was run at Saint-Cloud. The Prix de Royaumont is now held on the same day as the Prix du Jockey Club.
