The Prix La Haye Jousselin is a Group 1 steeplechase in France which is open to horses aged five years or older. It is run at Auteuil over a distance of 5,500 metres (about 3 miles and 3½ furlongs), and it is scheduled to take place each year in November.
The race usually features horses which also compete in the Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris, the most prestigious steeplechase in France. There are twenty-two obstacles to be jumped, and the most notorious of these is the Rail-Ditch and Fence (the Juge de Paix).
