Qualifying races for the Grand Prix de Paris have been extended to a number of fillies' races following a meeting of the European Pattern Committee at France Galop's HQ on Friday 14 February 2025 where several changes to the black-type programme were approved. 

The first three finishers in the Qatar Prix du Jockey Club and the Epsom Derby, as well as the winners of the Prix de l'Avre, Prix Hocquart, Prix Greffulhe, Prix du Lys Longines, Chester Vase, Derby Trial Stakes, Dante Stakes and King Edward VII Stakes have already been the beneficiaries of a qualification system (such as a refund of entry fees or free supplementary entries) for the Grand Prix de Paris.

In 2025, several fillies' races will join this list of qualifying events, including the first three finishers in the Prix de Diane Longines and the Epsom Oaks, as well as the winners of the  Auguste Rodin Coolmore Prix Saint-Alary, Prix Pénélope, Auguste Rodin Coolmore Prix Cléopâtre and the Prix de Royaumont.

The qualifying system for the Grand Prix de Paris has also been extended to the winner of the Italian Derby (Group 2) since it was moved back two weeks. This year, the Italian Derby takes place on 2 June. The Grand Prix de Paris takes place on Sunday, 13 July 2025 at the ParisLongchamp racecourse.
