Exceptional Equestrian Events on the French Riviera: The Glamorous Longines Global Champions Tour 2025
EVENTS
Just weeks after the Cannes Film Festival’s red carpet, the French Riviera is ready to welcome another kind of spectacle—equally elegant, yet far more athletic. Every summer, the Longines Global Champions Tour transforms iconic spots along the Riviera coastline into grand stages for show jumping. Cannes, Ramatuelle, and Monaco stand out as the most captivating stops on the circuit, blending glamour, equestrian excellence, and Mediterranean lifestyle. Here’s a closer look at three unmissable events.
Cannes, June 5–7, 2025: The Magic of Equestrian Nights
Cannes never sleeps. After the cinema’s spotlight, the stars of show jumping take center stage. The Longines Global Champions Tour in Cannes sets up at Stade des Hespérides, just steps from the Croisette, for three spectacular evenings from June 5 to 7, 2025.
What makes this stop special? Night competitions under the lights, with an electric and refined atmosphere. The world’s top riders compete in a dreamlike setting, watched closely by a passionate—and often very stylish—audience. It’s a suspended moment where sport becomes a true art of living, Côte d’Azur style.
Ramatuelle, June 12–14, 2025: Open-Air Elegance on Pampelonne Beach
A few days later, head to the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. The Longines Global Champions Tour takes residence on the legendary Pampelonne Beach in Ramatuelle, from June 12 to 14, 2025.
This is one of the most sought-after events on the equestrian calendar, for both riders and spectators alike. Between turquoise sea and umbrella pines, temporary facilities host the competition arena, paddock, stables, VIP areas, restaurants, and a chic yet relaxed village.
Here, elegance is everywhere: in the riders’ style, the horses’ grace, the venue’s architecture, and the sunny ease of an audience in love with beauty. In Ramatuelle, sport becomes a French art of living, set in one of the Mediterranean’s most stunning backdrops.
Monaco, July 4–6, 2025: Excellence at the Foot of the Rock
The grand finale is in Monaco. From July 4 to 6, 2025, the Jumping International de Monte-Carlo electrifies Port Hercule, just meters from the Prince’s Palace.
For over 18 years, this competition has become one of the most prestigious on the global circuit, alongside the Formula 1 Grand Prix and the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters. In this unique setting, riders showcase precision and power before a captivated international crowd.
Monaco shines, the sport rises, emotions run high. It’s a rare event where technical performance meets the refinement of an exceptional urban backdrop. Suspense, adrenaline, and elegance make this stop one of the most spectacular of the Longines Global Champions Tour.
French Riviera & Prestigious Equestrianism: A Lifestyle Apart
Whether you’re an equestrian enthusiast or simply a lover of beautiful things, these events perfectly illustrate the unique spirit of the French Riviera: a refined blend of discreet luxury, preserved nature, sophistication, and shared emotions.
