Festival for Societies of the Seine, Advanced, Men

There were 22 separate events for the Sociétés de la Seine held during the 1900 Paris International Exposition in the gymnastics category, although not all were gymnastics events, as boxing, wrestling, and swimming were all contested. There were 3,357 competitors in the various events, representing 55 different Sociéties de Gymnastique de la Seine.

This was one of the events contested for advanced competitors, although the precise definition of advanced in terms of this event is not known. There were 78 entrants from 20 societies, with prizes given to the top 11 finishers. The event was won by Émile Scherb of En Avant, who scored 88 points, followed by Alexis Vedeux of Ancienne, and then Peltier of Sans Souci in third place.
