The world's best pole vaulters are expected to compete at the highest level, in a festive, urban atmosphere, on the banks of the Seine, in front of the Eiffel Tower.

Spectators will certainly be able to attend this new open-air competition, but we'll have to wait a little longer to find out more about the details, including ticketing!

Vertiginous sensations await you once again in the capital!
