“It’s a real opportunity to be able to organize such an event in such an amazing and iconic venue. We feel very honored and respectful,” said Anne Murac, who is in charge of the Versailles site for the Paris 2024 organizing committee. Several water obstacles are being prepared. One newly created pond will have the shape of the royal lily, or fleur-de-lis, a symbol of the French monarchy. Horses will also pass through water in the circular basin of a fountain which had not been filled for over 40 years until now.
