During the show jumping events at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, a particularly charming obstacle captivated spectators: the one inspired by The Little Prince. Installed at the heart of the prestigious competitions held in the gardens of the Château de Versailles, this unique obstacle brought a poetic and nostalgic touch to the events.
This choice of obstacle, evoking the enchanting world of the famous tale of Saint-Exupéry, reflected an intention to celebrate various striking themes within the events. It was not only a tribute to literature but also a tribute to French culture.
The Little Prince had made a notable appearance a few days earlier at the opening ceremony. Among the many references to French culture, a video sequence has highlighted this iconic character in a universe inspired by the brothers Méliès and Jules Verne. The little blond appeared alongside the Fox on his planet, offering a poetic tribute to the French cultural heritage.
