The Grand Parc Equestrian Arena in Compiègne

 The site has been adapted to host high-level competitions

The city of Compiègne and its various partners have created a complex that is especially reserved for equestrian competition in all high-level disciplines.

In 2021, the equestrian stadium has been selected as the “rear base of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games” and as well as “Pôle d’Excellence de Compétition Optimum” by the French Equestrian Federation.

Along with van parking space, the equestrian arena covers 10 hectares of facilities of exceptional technical quality. In fact, trainers in a variety of equestrian disciplines believe this is one of Europe’s finest.

The fully renovated complex includes:

• A main all-weather arena with fiber-sand footing (140m x 110m), equipped with an innovative sub-irrigation system
