This small, fast, and hilly permanent racetrack opened in 1972, becoming
one of the new tracks for the Formula 1 French Grand Prix as it
transitioned away from open road circuits. It held the race in odd
numbered years while Circuit Paul Ricard had it in even years. In its
last years as a F1 circuit the series' race cars were clocking with lap
times of just over a minute. Today this track is mostly used for
club-level races and local events.

This is a rare track to have hosted two different national grand prix
races. In addition to hosting the French Grand Prix several times it
also held the final running of the Swiss Grand Prix in 1982 since
circuit racing in Switzerland itself at the time was ban. It hosted a
non-championship Swiss Grand Prix in 1975.
