major
The August seaside season on the Normandy coast: polo-and-yearling-sales chic, navy blazers, white trousers, straw hats. Elegant but relaxed; no contest or code.
what to wear
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.

Encouraged
Leave at home
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.
