Preparations are well underway at the Versailles Palace gardens as it gears up to host equestrian and modern pentathlon events during the upcoming Paris Games. Temporary facilities, including grandstands, are being constructed throughout the park to accommodate the expected influx of up to 40,000 spectators for the cross-country event.
The main arena, situated at one end of the Grand Canal, will provide seating for over 16,000 attendees to witness the dressage and showjumping competitions. The picturesque setting offers a stunning view of the historic palace, once the residence of Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette.
