Founded on February 23, 1903, the St-Jean-de-Monts Racing Society is probably one of the oldest societies dependent on the Western Racing Federation.
The first horse races took place on the beach.
Now, its racecourse immediately adjoining the ocean, with a breathtaking view of the Ile d'Yeu, surrounded by the national forest, is located in an ideal setting. It was named in 1970 "Hippodrome de l'Atlantique".
On its grass track, considered today as one of the best tracks in the Grand Ouest due to its quality and flexibility, the Saint Jean de Monts Horse Racing Association, so named since 2023, organizes semi-nocturnal racing meetings every summer (from 3:30 p.m.) with specific entertainment for each day.
Many developments have been made to improve the conditions for welcoming the public:- Grass track maintained every day with automatic watering.
- Parking, stands, technical tower.
- Parking for professionals, boxes (reservation at 06 67 80 00 85), stalls for horses.
- Bars, grills, and many free activities for children under 12.
The site also has a restaurant open on horse racing days, from 12 p.m. (reservations possible on 06 89 94 32 91).
Since 2024, we have been labeled "Equures" and "#RACEANDCARE".Our 2025 meeting dates:
