OUR HISTORY
Virginie COUPERIE-EIFFEL

“Longines Paris Eiffel Jumping was born from a deep desire to bring together the heritage of my mother and father: the Eiffel Tower and the love of horses.”
Return to the heart of Paris
The Longines Paris Eiffel Jumping sounds the return des horses on their land. The Champ de Mars has long been an hippodrome as well as an army field military, It welcomes the Jubilee of Jappeloup. Today, his land trembles under the hooves of the best horses in the world.

The dream come true
“I have long dreamed of this event, both sporting and cultural and a standard of the French art of living. In the heart of Paris, the Horse becomes accessible to everyone, competition horse, show horse or leisure horse. He is indeed man's best friend."
A jumping family!
Realizing this dream is also a way of paying tribute to my parents. I wanted to unite the heritage of my mother, a descendant of Gustave Eiffel , Gustave's daughter, and that of my father, Emeric Coupérie , a great horse enthusiast, founder of the Bordeaux Jumping and who introduced the Equestrian World Cup In France.
This crazy project was possible thanks to Longines , a historic partner of the equestrian world which carries within it the values of excellence and elegance.
I am happy to associate Jan Tops , the Founder and President of the Longines Global Champions Tour and the GCL, with this dream. Paris enters this prestigious circuit and becomes an essential stopover, bringing together the best riders in the world.
The Longines Global Champions Tour - Longines Paris Eiffel Jumping is also an opportunity for many amateur riders and young hopefuls, on a parallel CSI 1* circuit, to compete against exceptional obstacle courses and rub shoulders with their champions.
The Longines Global Champions Tour - Longines Paris Eiffel Jumping is an unmissable event and a fantastic time for everyone! Young and old, professionals and amateurs, enthusiasts and beginners...
Let the festivities begin !
