TheGrand Prix de France is an annualfigure skating competition sanctioned by theInternational Skating Union (ISU), organized and hosted by theFrench Federation of Ice Sports (French:Fédération Française des Sports de Glace) (FFIS).^[1] The first iteration of the Grand Prix de France was held in 1987 inParis. When the ISU launched theChampions Series (later renamed theGrand Prix Series) in 1995, the Grand Prix de France was one of the five qualifying events. It has been a Grand Prix event every year since, except for 2020, when it was cancelled due to theCOVID-19 pandemic. The Grand Prix de France has been held under several names: the Grand Prix International de Paris, the Trophée de France, the Trophée Lalique, the Trophée Éric Bompard, and the Internationaux de France.

Medals are awarded inmen's singles, women's singles,pair skating, andice dance. Skaters earn points based on their results at the qualifying competitions each season, and the top skaters or teams in each discipline are invited to then compete at theGrand Prix of Figure Skating Final.

Alexei Yagudin of Russia holds the record for winning the most Grand Prix de France titles in men's singles (with five), whileSurya Bonaly of France holds the record in women's singles (also with five).Aljona Savchenko andBruno Massot of Germany, andElena Berezhnaya andAnton Sikharulidze of Russia, are tied for winning the most titles in pair skating (with three each), although Berezhnaya won an additional title with a different partner.Marina Anissina andGwendal Peizerat, andGabriella Papadakis andGuillaume Cizeron, both of France, are tied for winning the most titles in ice dance (with six each).

The inaugural competition – the1987 Grand Prix International de Paris – was held inParis.Petr Barna of Czechoslovakia won the men's event,Jill Trenary of the United States won the women's event,Natalie andWayne Seybold of the United States won the pairs event, andLia Trovati andRoberto Pelizzola of Italy won the ice dance event.^[1]

The competition was known as theTrophée Lalique from 1987 to 1993 and from 1996 to 2003 in recognition of its sponsor, the luxury glassmakerLalique.^[2] In addition to their gold medals, champions receivedcrystal trophies designed by Marie-Claude Lalique.^[3] The1991 Trophée Lalique was held at theHalle Olympique inAlbertville and served as the test event for the1992 Winter Olympics.^[4] Test events are held prior to the Olympics to test the readiness and infrastructure of the venues to be used.^[5]

From 1994 to 1995, the competition was known as theTrophée de France. Beginning with the 1995–96 season, theInternational Skating Union (ISU) launched theChampions Series – later renamed theGrand Prix Series – which, at its inception, consisted of five qualifying competitions and theChampions Series Final. This allowed skaters to perfect their programs earlier in the season, as well as compete against the same skaters whom they would later encounter at the World Championships. This series also provided the viewing public with additional televised skating, which was in high demand.^[6] The five qualifying competitions during this inaugural season were the1995 Nations Cup, the1995 NHK Trophy, the1995 Skate America, the1995 Skate Canada, and the1995 Trophée de France.^[7] Skaters earned points based on their results in their respective competitions and the top skaters or teams in each discipline were then invited to compete at theChampions Series Final.^[6]

In 2004, thecashmere manufacturerÉric Bompard became the competition's principal sponsor and the nameTrophée Éric Bompard was adopted.^[8][9] The2015 Trophée Éric Bompard inBordeaux was cancelled after theNovember 2015 Paris terrorist attacks. The short programs had been completed on 13 November, but the free skating was to be held the next day.^[10] On 23 November, the ISU announced that the results of the short programs would be considered the final results for the competition.^[11]

Citing losses from the2014 Trophée Éric Bompard – which had been relocated from Paris to Bordeaux while thePalais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy was undergoing renovations – as well as diminishing television exposure, the cancelled 2015 competition, and the failure of theFrench Federation of Ice Sports to respond to its inquiries, Éric Bompard chose to end its sponsorship of the Grand Prix de France in 2016.^[9] The competition returned to Paris in 2016 and the name Trophée de France.^[12] The following year, it relocated toGrenoble and became known as theInternationaux de France.^[13]

The2020 Internationaux de France was cancelled after a curfew was imposed on Grenoble on account of theCOVID-19 pandemic.^[14] Beginning in 2022, the competition relocated toAngers and adopted its current name: the Grand Prix de France.^[15]
