THE POLO CLUB OF PARIS

Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. A historic place with breathtaking architecture and the iconic Eiffel Tower, symbol of sophistication that harks back to the days of Louis XIV, the Sun King.


The Bois de Boulogne is set along the western edge of the 16th arrondissement of Paris, near the suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt. In the heart of Bois de Boulogne lies Chateau de Bagatelle, built in 1775 by the Comte d’Artois in a wager with his sister-in-law, Marie Antoinette. Bagatelle’s historic park remained separate and outside the Bois de Boulogne until 1905, when it was purchased by the City of Paris and attached to the park. However, polo had made its way to Bagatelle many years before, inciting Polo de Paris, one of the most glamorous polo clubs in the world. The club’s central location is only ten minutes from the center of Paris and the banks of the Seine.

The pool was classified as a French historical monument on 27 March 1990, after having fallen into disuse and closing in 1989. The swimming pool complex was rebuilt from scratch in the style of the previous historic design. The new complex, which opened in 2014, includes two pools and a five star hotel.

MEET OUR HOST

When Michael Niedzielski's 3 year-old daughter, Bianca (Bibi) was diagnosed with ETMR he learned there were no standard treatments, no clinical trials, no preclinical models, no registries, and no money for research. 


Michael organized and supported the first ever series of meetings for ETMR, and personally raised millions for research. This Strategy Forum is a direct result of Michael's successful efforts to build a research community focused on rare brain tumors.
