The Prix du Conseil de Paris is a Group 2 flat horse race in France open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older.
It was funded by Paris Municipal Council, which had recently signed a new leasehold of Longchamp Racecourse.
The Prix du Conseil Municipal was the second major international race introduced by the Société d'Encouragement.
Unlike that event, which was restricted to three-year-olds, the new race was open to horses aged three or older.
The present system of race grading was introduced in 1971, and the Prix du Conseil Municipal was classed at Group 2 level.
