History

The event was established in 1892, and it was originally called the Omnium de Deux Ans. Its distance was initially 1,100 metres, and it was extended to 1,200 metres in 1903. For a period it was held in early August, and it usually featured a large field as two-year-olds were not allowed to race in France prior to that month. It reverted to 1,100 metres in 1907, and from this point juveniles could be raced earlier in the year.

The Omnium de Deux Ans was the country's richest race for two-year-olds until 1914, ahead of both the Prix Morny and the Grand Critérium. It was abandoned throughout World War I, with no running from 1915 to 1918.

The race was renamed in memory of Robert Papin (1848–1926), a former president of the Société Sportive d'Encouragement, in 1928. It was increased to 1,200 metres in 1929.

The Prix Robert Papin was held at Auteuil in 1940, and on this occasion it was contested over 1,400 metres in late October. Its regular length was cut to 1,100 metres in 1942, and it was run at Longchamp over 1,000 metres in 1944. Its usual distance returned to 1,200 metres in 1946, and it began its current spell over 1,100 metres in 1963.

The present system of race grading was introduced in 1971, and the Prix Robert Papin was classed at the highest level, Group 1. It was relegated to Group 2 status in 1987.
