Saut Hermès 2026: equestrian excellence under the glass roof of the Grand Palais

Every spring, Paris celebrates the rare alliance of top-level sport, French refinement and equestrian tradition. From March 20 to 22, 2026, Saut Hermès will once again take over the legendary Grand Palais, transforming its monumental nave into a spectacular showcase for international show jumping.

Created by Hermès, whose history has been intimately linked with horses since 1837, the Saut Hermès has become a not-to-be-missed event on the Parisian calendar. More than a competition, it’s a celebration of the unique bond between rider and mount, a tribute to precision of gesture and elegance of movement.

An exceptional CSI 5* competition

Classified as CSI 5*, the highest level of competition in show jumping, the event brings together the world’s elite in the discipline, as well as young talent under the age of 25, in the Talents Hermès classes. For three days, the best international riders compete on demanding courses where technicality, speed and composure make all the difference.

The highlight is the eagerly-awaited Grand Prix Hermès on Sunday. Under the glass roof bathed in natural light, the obstacles reach spectacular heights, and each passage triggers palpable tension in the stands. The Saturday evening nocturne adds an almost theatrical dimension to the event, sublimating the aesthetics of the sport in a play of light and shadow.

An immersive world of horses

Beyond the competition, the Saut Hermès offers a true immersion in theequestrian world. The galleries of the Grand Palais are home to a specialized bookshop, discovery areas and events dedicated to horse culture.

The event appeals to enthusiasts and families alike, thanks to a program that makes the sport accessible and educational. The horse is celebrated as an athlete, but also as a symbol ofheritage, transmission and craftsmanship excellence.

To attend the Saut Hermès is to experience a suspended moment in one of Paris’s most emblematic venues. It’s to feel the raw energy of the gallop resonating on the sand, to observe the intense concentration of a rider approaching an oxer, and to share the collective emotion that arises when the course is perfectly mastered.

Why you shouldn’t miss the 2026 edition

In a Paris vibrating to the rhythm of major cultural and sporting events, the Saut Hermès embodies a rare elegance. It attracts a cosmopolitan audience of equestrian enthusiasts, artistic personalities and heritage lovers.

Whether you come for the sporting performance, the unique atmosphere of the Grand Palais or your attachment to the Hermès world, the experience is unforgettable. Three days in which the capital lives to the rhythm of the horse, between power and grace.
