The sound of hooves has long resonated in Paris. In the good old days, superb horse races were even organized there. The location is also that of one of the most famous battles in the history of the capital and takes its name from the god Mars, often represented on his chariot pulled by two fiery horses. An “equestrian” place by nature, the famous esplanade has however no longer heard the echo of the horses' footsteps, since 2014 the Longines Global Champions Tour - Longines Paris Eiffel Jumping , has brought the Horse back to one of its familiar territories.

Thanks to the City of Paris which hosts the Longines Global Champions Tour - Longines Paris Eiffel Jumping , this animal capable of reconciling opposites: nature and culture, strength and gentleness, animality and elegance finds a central place, in the heart of the city and its legitimacy.
