One of the most famous Battles in the History of the Capital happened here, hence it being named after the God of Mars, often represented in his Chariot drawn by two Fiery Horses. This famous Esplanade, « Equestrian » by Nature, has not heard the echo of the Thundering Horses Hoof since 1993 and the last Gallop by Jappeloup ... In 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018, the Longines Global Champions Tour - Longines Paris Eiffel Jumping, has brought the Horse back onto its Familiar Territory again.

This Event also finds its Origins from a Desire to revive a Special Relationship. The Appearance of the Horse in the Daily Life of Man dates back beyond recorded History.
The Longines Global Champions Tour (LGCT) is an Annual Show Jumping Series that comprises up to 15 Rounds of Competition hosted around the World. It brings together the top 30 Riders in the FEI Jumping World Rankings. It was founded in 2006 by the Olympic Gold Medalist Jan Tops. Since 2007, all LGCT Events have been held as CSI 5*, which means that under FEI Rules they are Championship-Level Events. The LGCT Classes are run under FEI Rules but the Governing Body has no part in the Organisation of the Series, aside from ratifying the Schedule. The LGCT is not an FEI Series like the World Cup or the Nations Cup Competitions.
