The Longines Global Champions Tour returns to Cannes in 2026, bringing elite show jumping back to one of the most glamorous destinations on the calendar. Set on the French Riviera, Cannes delivers a unique blend of world-class sport and unmistakable atmosphere. In 2025, Harrie Smolders and Monaco claimed their long-awaited first LGCT Grand Prix victory, marking the beginning of a dominant season, while St Tropez Pirates captured the spotlight in the GCL with a standout team win. As the Tour returns, Cannes once again promises high-stakes competition in an iconic setting.
