Le Saut Hermès is back! The now legendary equestrian event returns to the Grand Palais from 17 to 19 March, and is getting ready again to make us vibrate!
For three days, the famous Parisian monument becomes a giant track and welcomes the elite of international jumping. The program is composed of competitions, prize-giving, show and even a nocturne scheduled on Saturday evening. Technique, passion and mastery are honored. Visitors will be able to attend the various animations offered between the events and will also be able to discover the Hermès business. It should be said that the Hermès house excels in saddle industry and the opportunity will be given to learn more about its manufacture. More than an activity, this is a love of a matter, and of the equestrian environment. The children will have access to an educational mini-farm around this animal they all idolize, and a Shetland pony race will also be organized.
The horse will be the star of the Saut Hermès show and its riders will demonstrate an incredible dexterity throughout the events. The Talents Hermès will focus on young people under 25, already formidably talented. Finally, the show Le Songe de Don Quichotte will be the well-deserved cultural and tasty pause amidst all these efforts. Fallen to the ground, a knight escapes into a dream where dream meets reality. The spectator himself leaves reality and follows with intensity the thrusts of the artist Mario Lurashi. Impressive, moving and surprising, we forget the technical prowess for a moment while approaching another reality. What a sublime pleasure !! During the nocturnal Saturdays, the nave of the Grand Palais, illuminated, will give to the show a magical dimension marrying skillfully the outlines of the Florent Azoulay’s staging.
The magic of the Grand Palais gives equestrian art the material and the ideal scene for its flourishing. An alliance that has worked for the previous 7 editions and which again promises beautiful surprises and beautiful dreams at the end of the event …
