The first trophy vases were presented to Olympic gold medallists Antoine Dupont and Léon Marchand!
Created by six young artists from the Beaux-Arts in Paris, Ece Bal, Thomas Besset, Sacha Floch Poliakoff, Samya Moineaud, Nassim Sarni and Domitille Siergé, these trophies are original artistic creations painted on vases from Blois with the help of craftsmen from Sèvres.
The trophies will be presented to all the French gold medallists at the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Congratulations to the athletes who made us dream all summer long and to all those who contributed to the success of these Olympic and Paralympic Games!
