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. There were 99 competitors in this event, from 24 societies, which was open to gymnasts greater than 18-years-old, with prizes given to the top 68 gymnasts. It was won by Pierre Payssé. Payssé also competed in the gymnastics events considered as the Olympic all-around title in 1900, and he also won another individual gymnastics event for the Sociétés de la Seine. He came back to compete at the 1906 Olympics, and won two gold medals in the two all-around individual gymnastics events.
