48H de l'Obstacle

Hippodrome d'Auteuil, Paris, France

Autumn jump-racing weekend at Auteuil; in 2026 it is themed as a mountain resort with Val Thorens, so the look is warm, smart country rather than hats and silk.

Women

France Galop's own guide (updated 27 Nov 2025): correct dress ('tenue correcte exigée') is a condition of entry; the ideal is 'casual chic' in classic colours (white, grey, beige, black, blue, or a pastel). Chinos with a blouse, sandals or loafers, or an elegant relaxed dress. The closer you go to the parade ring, the more correct dress is expected.

Required

  • Correct dress (tenue correcte exigée)

Encouraged

  • Elegant dress or chinos and blouse
  • A hat ('osez le chapeau')
  • Small cross-body bag
  • Jacket and closed shoes in cool weather

Leave at home

  • Near the parade ring: jeans
  • Near the parade ring: shorts
  • Near the parade ring: overly sporty clothing

Men

France Galop's guide gives men the same advice as women: casual chic, chinos and a shirt are 'perfect'. Near the parade ring avoid jeans, T-shirts, caps and shorts.

Required

  • Correct dress (tenue correcte exigée)
