THE WORLD'S BEST SET FOR THE ROLEX GRAND PRIX VILLE DE LA BAULE
Following three days of exceptional sport at the Jumping International de La Baule – Officiel de France, attention now turns to the highlight of the week: the Rolex Grand Prix Ville de La Baule, taking place on Sunday 14 June at 2:30 PM in the iconic Stade François André.
Widely regarded as one of the most prestigious competitions in international showjumping, the Rolex Grand Prix Ville de La Baule will bring together the riders who have earned their place through a series of highly competitive qualifying classes throughout the week. Designed by renowned French course designer Grégory Bodo, who was responsible for the jumping courses at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the Rolex Grand Prix Ville de La Baule will provide the ultimate test of precision, partnership and performance.
A World-Class Field Ready for La Baule
The field assembled for Sunday's Rolex Grand Prix Ville de La Baule reflects the exceptional level of sport witnessed throughout the week on France's Atlantic coast.
Defending champion Daniel Deusser returns to La Baule aiming to retain the title he claimed in 2025. France’s Nations Cup heroes Julien Epaillard, Nina Mallevaey, Antoine Ermann will also be among the contenders, looking to build on their historic victory in Friday’s Barrière Nations Cup in front of the home crowd.
Among the other leading contenders are Henrik von Eckermann, Gilles Thomas, Cian O’Connor, Kevin Staut and Martin Fuchs alongside many more of the sport’s biggest names.
With many of the world's leading riders and horses using La Baule as a key stepping stone towards the FEI World Championships in Aachen later this summer, all the ingredients are in place for a spectacular edition of the Rolex Grand Prix Ville de La Baule.
