Every year, seasoned riders take to the streets of the capital, presenting the equestrian world to the public and the heritage of the Île-de-France region, with its diversity of French-bred horses! Nearly 60 horses will be on hand to criss-cross the capital, as this year's ride doesn't start at Versailles and lasts just one day.

Due to theOlympic Games, the show jumping competition could not take place under the Eiffel Tower, and was relocated near the Bois de Boulogne, on the Plaine de Jeux de Bagatelle. The Route Eiffel therefore looks a little different, this time taking you into the heart of nature to rediscover the magic of the Bois de Boulogne trails, on a verdant 17-kilometer circuit. The route covers 850 hectares of the capital's green lung, including the Hippodrome de Longchamp, the Château de Bagatelle and its rose garden, the Pré-Catelan, the Fondation Louis Vuitton and the lower lake.

And to round off the weekend in style, the finish line will take place on the competition track, for a festive fanfare parade!
