The Prix Allez France is a Group 3 flat horse race in France open to four-year-old and above thoroughbred fillies and mares. It is run over a distance of 2,000 metres (approximately 1¼ miles) at Chantilly Racecourse and takes place annually in late April or early May.
It is named in honour of Allez France, a successful mare trained at Chantilly during the 1970s, whose victories included the 1974 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
The race is one of several for older fillies which were introduced across Europe in 2004, designed as an incentive to keep more of their gender from being exported or prematurely retired to stud. Other similar races created at this time include the Windsor Forest Stakes, the Ridgewood Pearl Stakes and the Premio Paolo Mezzanotte.
