European equestrian capital, green lung of the Paris Region, internationally acclaimed sporting events…sport is everywhere in Yvelines, and for these Olympic Games, especially where you least expect it! A look back at the 3 main sporting disciplines for which the Yvelines is renowned.

The Open de France golf tournament, the Paris-Nice cycling race, the World and European Track Cycling Championships – the Yvelines hosts a wealth of international sporting events, making it a natural choice for inclusion in the Paris 2024 bid.

In 2018 the Ryder Cup was added to this prestigious list, and since 2019 every final stage of the Tour de France has taken place in the Yvelines, a showcase for the region before the 2024 Olympics. Not forgetting the Track Cycling World Championships held at the National Velodrome in October 2022.

Finally, the 1st edition of the international show jumping competition, held at the Château de Versailles and featuring some of the world’s greatest riders, was such a success that it seems more than obvious that Versailles was the ideal place to host the Olympic equestrian events.

European equestrian capital, green lung of the Paris Region, events hosting…sport is all around in Yvelines, and no doubt all these elements will have a positive impact on the 2024 Olympics! In any case, we believe in it!
