Seven combinations qualified for the jump-off of the GCT GP of Paris in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower. In that jump-off, Ermitage and Gilles showed that they can now also go very fast in a jump-off. They remained faultless, Ermitage continued to jump fantastically, made good use of his big canter and handled the turns perfectly thanks to his innate intelligence. It earned Gilles and Ermitage their first 5* GP victory. In a place that captured the imagination.

Later in the day, Qiara De Kalvarie jumped to third place in the 1.55m class. She and Ermitage Kalone had already secured second place in the GCL on Friday. Both horses remained faultless under the saddle of Gilles, who formed the Valkenswaard United team together with Marcus Ehning.
