Horse racing in France is a hugely popular sport among competitors and spectators alike. It’s home to some of the biggest races in the world and, over the years, has produced some of the world’s leading horses, trainers and jockeys.

French horse racing is governed in its entirety by France Galop, a central authority which oversees everything from the organization and promotion of more than 6,500 races across the country to improvements in breeding, training and riding techniques.

This original vintage poster was created to advertise the 1937 horse race called Le Grand Prix de Paris" which took place on the 27th of June and which was designed to benefit of group of charities.

Perfect for the farmhouse, the kitchen, the sun room -- anywhere in need of a splash of colour!

Poster has obvious folds but is in otherwise very good condition. Please see photos. less
