Flins-Les Mureaux was a proposed motorsport race track, to be located in the Seine Valley between Flins-sur-Seine and Les Mureaux, to the northwest of Paris as a prospective host for the French Grand Prix which was axed from its former home at Magny-Cours in 2009.

Its business plan saw off many different proposals for a new circuit which included a street circuit located near Disneyland Resort Paris.^[1]

Work on the circuit was to be carried out by British company Apex Circuit Design, with plans submitted by a Parisian Architect to include a 1 km straight and seating for 120,000 people.^[2] The 112 million euro project was said to have started work immediately, even though F1 Boss Bernie Ecclestone had not given the full green light for the track to host a Grand Prix in 2011.^[3]

Plans for the development of the circuit to host Formula One were scrapped on 1 December 2009.^[4]
