Saut Hermès 2022 in images

With the iconic Grand Palais under renovation, the 2022-edition of Saut Hermès was held at the Grand Palais Éphémère, right under the Eiffel Tower in the heart of the French capital. On Friday, Switzerland's Martin Fuchs on The Sinner opened the weekend with a win in the CSI5* 1.50m Prix Hermés Sellier, while home hero Simon Delestre and his veteran Hermès Ryan (pictured above) entertained the Parisian crowds with a third-place finish. On Saturday, Scott Brash and Hello Shelby topped the CSI5* 1.50m Prix GL Events, while Gregory Wathelet and Iron Man van de Padenborre won the CSI5* 1.55m Le Saut Hermès and Harry Charles the Prix du Faubourg on Stardust. On Sunday, French rider Kevin Staut and Cheppetta gave the event a fairy-tale finish when topping the CSI5* €400,000 1.60m Grand Prix Hermès at the sold-out Grand Palais Éphémère.

Here a look back at the beautiful weekend in Paris.
