The French Grand Prix is a race on the F1 calendar. It was last held at the Circuit Paul Ricard,[1][2] after a 10-year absence between 2009 and 2018. Prior to changing to Circuit Paul Ricard in 2018, this event was held at Magny-Cours.
The first French Grand Prix was held in 1906, on a public road circuit outside of Le Mans. This is regarded as the very first Grand Prix ever.
