Zeus, the mechanical horse of the Olympic Games, is about to set foot at the Château de Versailles. After dazzling Paris, on October 26, 2024 he will make a monumental stopover in the Yvelines. A new chance to discover this steel colossus, ready to steal the show in this royal setting!

Attention fans of monumental art and Olympism! Zeus, the famous mechanical horse that caused such a sensation at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, is taking up residence this autumn at an emblematic venue: the Château de Versailles, for an exceptional exhibition. After a memorable stopover atParis City Hall, where he majestically took pride of place during the Paralympic Games, this metal giant is currently back at the Blam workshop in Nantes, where he was created, for a little technical refresher before his next big event.

On October 26, 2024, Zeus will join the Château de Versailles, a symbolic site that was the backdrop for the equestrian events of the Olympic Games. The result of a year's work, this monumental work, an icon of the Games, continues to captivate crowds with its grandeur and aura, embodying both the Olympic spirit and artistic innovation.

Although its long-term future remains unclear, one thing's for sure: its next stop at Versailles promises to be a real eye-catcher.

Want to see this modern-day titan up close? Join us at the château on October 26, 2024 for a memorable encounter with Zeus, the metal horse that has conquered the world.
