History

The event was established in 1893, and it was originally called the Prix Monarque. It was named after Monarque, the sire of Gladiateur.

The Prix Monarque was renamed the Prix du Président de la République in 1903. It reverted to its original name when a new Prix du Président de la République (the future Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud) was introduced in 1904.

The race was usually run on Maison-Laffitte's straight track until 1910. For a period thereafter it took place on the venue's right-handed course.

The event was renamed in memory of Eugène Adam (1840–1904), a former president of the Société Sportive d'Encouragement, in 1911. The title Prix Eugène Adam had been previously assigned to what later became the Prix Exbury.

The Prix Eugène Adam was abandoned throughout World War I, with no running from 1915 to 1918. It was cancelled once during World War II, in 1940. It was temporarily switched to Auteuil in 1944, and on this occasion it was contested over 2,100 metres. It was transferred to Saint-Cloud in 1946.

The event returned to Maisons-Laffitte in 1998, and it moved to Deauville in 2000. It began its current spell at Maisons-Laffitte in 2002. It is now subtitled the Grand Prix de Maisons-Laffitte.

Due to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic, 2020 Prix Eugène Adam are not run.^[1]
