The dream come true
"I have long dreamed of this event, both sporting, cultural and standard French art of living. In the heart of Paris, the Horse becomes accessible to all, 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 homage to my parents. I wanted to unite the heritage of my mother, a descendant of Gustave Eiffel, Gustave's daughter, and my father's, Emeric Couperie, great horse enthusiast, founder of the Jumping of Bordeaux and who introduced the Equestrian World Cup in France.
This crazy project was possible thanks Longines, a historical partner of the equestrian world which carries within it the values of excellence and elegance.
