Why the circuit stops here

The newest fixture on the circuit and already its most glamorous fair: blue-chip art under the restored glass nave of the Grand Palais, with luxury-conglomerate money on home turf.

The money signal

Paris has pulled collector traffic from London within two editions; the circuit rerouted in real time.

Who's there

European collector aristocracy, LVMH-orbit patrons, American collectors making a week of it.

How they arrive

  • Private aviation is the default: expect FBO slots and hotel helipads to be the real constraint, not tickets.
