With over 350,000 visitors a year, the Grand Parquet is one of Fontainebleau's most dynamic venues. The reason I wanted to present it to you today is that it's much more than just an equestrian center: it's a major events venue, hosting international competitions, corporate seminars, trade shows and cultural events all year round.
Once the hunting ground of the kings of France, the Grand Parquet has been transformed into a world-renowned equestrian center. Its history is studded with prestigious moments, such as hosting the modern pentathlon events at the 1924 Olympic Games. Today, it continues this tradition of excellence by being selected as a Preparation Center for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The Grand Parquet offers facilities that live up to its reputation:
With a capacity of 10,000 people on its 30 hectares, the site receives over 350,000 visitors a year for 107 days of events.
