Due to ongoing construction work at the Trocadero we'll be hosting the annual Paris Slalom World Cup in Massy, 30 min south of Paris.

We've identified an road which we will believe will be a good replacement and provide excellent racing and an good scenery for the race.

We'll be running three disciplines: TS, HS, and GS, with medals for each discipline and an overall trophy for the winner of each of the following categories: Pro, Am, Master, Women.

TRANSPORTATION

The local RER train (blue line) goes from the Airport in the north, through Paris and out to the suburbs on the south side, where Massy-Palaiseau is the main train station. Travel time to central Paris is 30 minutes, add 15-20 minutes if you also need to connect to a Metro within Paris. There is also a TGV station for travel within France. Walking distance from the train station 15 minutes.
