  Grand Prix de la Marne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Grand Prix de la Marne was a Grand Prix motor racing event staged at a racecourse near the city of Reims in the Marne département of north-east France.
As such, the race served as the French Grand Prix in 1932 and for many years was one of the most prestigious events in racing, including during the Formula One years.
The track underwent major enovations in 1952 and the French Grand Prix was held on the new layout in 1953-1956, 1958-1961, 1963 and 1966.
