To understand the story of the Longines Paris Eiffel Jumping, we need to go back to 2014, when Virginie Coupérie-Eiffel created this unique competition to honor her parents. One side pays tribute to her father, a huge passionate equestrian, and on the other side, her mother, the great-granddaughter of Gustave Eiffel. For the past 12 years now, this event has made the capital come alive to the rhythm of sport, culture, and the French Art of Living, thanks to breathtaking performances and a stunning backdrop.
