The Prix du Petit Couvert is a Group 3 flat horse race in France open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older.
It is run at Longchamp over a distance of 1,000 metres (about 5 furlongs), and it is scheduled to take place each year in September.
The Prix du Petit Couvert was staged at Longchamp in 1880, and extended to 1,000 metres in 1881.
Longchamp became the race's usual venue in 1907, and from this point its distance was 1,100 metres.
The Prix du Petit Couvert was cancelled twice during World War II, in 1939 and 1940.
