Description

Save the date in March to see the elite of international show-jumping, in the nave of the Grand at the Saut Hermès event. This high-level competition, established by Hermès, is rated CSI 5 * by the International Equestrian Federation. Taking place in the Grand Palais, the event offers visitors the chance to see the world’s top show-jumpers.

Different events take place over the day (9 in total). The Grand Prix Hermès takes place on Sunday afternoon. The height of the obstacles and technical requirements make it one of the most difficult competitions on the circuit. In the evening and on Sunday afternoon, there is an equestrian show for the public.

Nef du Grand Palais

Measuring 13,500 m², the surface area of the Nave of the Grand Palais is the largest glassed-roof space in Europe. It is the central area of the Grand Palais, which also includes the Galeries Nationales and the Palais de la Découverte. Its glass and iron architecture is typical of the 19th century and is breathtaking in its beauty and scale. Since the end of major renovation work in 2005, the Nave has housed major and sometimes unusual events throughout the year. An ice-rink, a drive-in cinema (in partnership with MK2), exhibitions open all night, electro evenings, fête de la musique, major contemporary art exhibitions, etc. There is never a dull moment at the Grand Palais!
