History

[edit]

The competition was first held in 1987 in Paris as the Grand Prix International de Paris. In 1991, Albertville hosted it as a pre-Olympic event. In 1994, it took place in Lyon and became known as the Trophée de France. It retained the name in 1995 when it was held in Bordeaux as part of the inaugural ISU Champions Series (Grand Prix series). In 1996, it returned to Paris and was renamed the Trophée Lalique to reflect its sponsor, the glassware company Lalique.

The Éric Bompard company co-sponsored the event with Lalique from 1999 through 2003 before becoming the chief sponsor in 2004.[1] The competition's title was then changed to the Trophée Éric Bompard.

The competition was held in Bordeaux in 2014 and 2015. In 2015, it was canceled after the first day of competition due to the November 2015 Paris attacks; the results after the short segments were deemed the final results.[2]

In the summer of 2016, the Éric Bompard company decided to end its sponsorship after its questions to the French Federation of Ice Sports (FFSG) received no response.[3] The event returned to Paris and the name Trophée de France in 2016.[4] The following year, it moved to Grenoble and became known as the Internationaux de France.

The 2020 competition was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]
