The 2025 Grand Prix de France is a figure skating competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU). Organized and hosted by the French Federation of Ice Sports (French: Fédération française des sports de glace), it is the first event of the 2025–26 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating: a senior-level international invitational competition series. It will be held 17–19 October at the Angers IceParc in Angers.[1][2] Medals will be awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance. Skaters earn points based on their results, and the top skaters or teams in each discipline are invited to then compete at the 2025–26 Grand Prix Final.
Background
[edit]The ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating is a series of seven events sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU) and held during the autumn: six qualifying events and the Grand Prix Final. This allows skaters to perfect their programs earlier in the season, as well as compete against the skaters with whom they will later compete at the World Championships. This series also provides the viewing public with additional televised skating, which was in high demand. Skaters earn points based on their results in their respective competitions and the top skaters or teams in each discipline are invited to compete at the Grand Prix Final.[3]
