★ Longines Paris Eiffel Jumping

01Waarom het relevant is

Paris gives the Global Champions Tour its most photographed stage and gives Parisians a major sporting fixture in the 7th arrondissement. In our reading its significance is more to the sport than to the calendar: it put show jumping in front of a general international audience.

02De week eromheen

Late June is the fullest stretch of the Paris summer before the city empties in August. The Fête de la Musique falls on 21 June and fills every quarter with free street performance, and the men's fashion shows run in the same fortnight.

03Wanneer aan te komen

Come Friday and stay through Sunday; the Grand Prix on Sunday afternoon is the event, and Paris rewards leaving Monday.

04Waar te verblijven

The 7th arrondissement, around the Rue Cler and the Invalides, is a short walk from the arena but has limited hotel stock, so most visitors stay central and take the Métro.

05Toegang en hospitality

Tickets are sold through the Global Champions ticketing platform, with day admission and hospitality packages along the arena; the stands are modest and Sunday is the constrained session.

06Waar de sociale activiteit plaatsvindt

The arena-side hospitality terraces and the brand village; the lawns of the Champ de Mars immediately outside; and the restaurants of the Rue Saint-Dominique and the Rue Cler.

09Geschiedenis

The show was founded in 2014 on the Champ de Mars, taking its name from the tower and from the family association behind its creation, and joined the tour as the French capital's five-star stage. Its placement has been adjusted when the Champ de Mars was required for larger occasions, including the 2024 Olympic Games.

10Wie is er

The international show jumping community and the Global Champions League team ownership; Longines and the tour's partner brands; the French equestrian public; and a substantial general audience drawn by the location.
