Hippodrome Pierre Provost d'Ecommoy

From Easter to September, the Pierre Provost racecourse hosts numerous trotting meetings.

The Pierre Provost racecourse hosts numerous race meetings from Easter to September. It is run by the Société des Courses d'Ecommoy, whose volunteers work hard throughout the year to make each race a unique event.

In a bucolic setting, it hosts trotting events on one of the finest grass trotting tracks in France, measuring 1,209 metres in length. It is also becoming a family racecourse, with a wide range of activities for young and old alike (inflatable structures, various games, introduction to horseracing betting, etc.), as well as a country-style catering outlet.

Every year, the Société des courses and the Tourism Department of the Communauté de Communes de l'Orée de Bercé-Belinois join forces to offer free guided tours of the racecourse on the eve of trotting races.

This is an opportunity to discover what goes on behind the scenes at the races, through anecdotes told by volunteers from the Société des courses, including Jean-Yves Bouvet, the National Steward.
