The story

France Galop was formed on 3 May 1995 by the amalgamation of three older societies: the Société d'Encouragement et des Steeple-Chases de France, the Société de Sport de France and the Société Sportive d'Encouragement. The owner and breeder Jean-Luc Lagardère was elected its first president.

The new body was declared as an association later that month, its creation being published in the Journal officiel on 31 May 1995.
