Paris

With the River Seine running through the middle, the city is divided into 20 different districts or ‘arrondissements’, each with its own unique style. The city is home to a wealth of fascinating museums and monuments, including the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Sacre Coeur, Arc De Triomphe, and Place de la Concorde. It is also filled with tree-lined avenues, lamplit bridges, stunning buildings and beautiful parks. Known as one of the most romantic cities in the world, it is a great place to walk around with a welcoming Parisienne bistro or bar on most street corners.

The Longines Global Champions Tour of Paris is held at the Champ de Mars at the foot of the iconic Eiffel Tower, where spectators can enjoy world-class show jumping in the heart of the ‘International city of style’ in a celebration of all things equestrian. The show will also host superb restaurants run by two famous three-michelin-star chefs, Alain Ducasse and Frédéric Vardon, making it a real spectacle of sport, gastronomy and entertainment.
