Eiffel Tower Stadium
For Parisians, the Champ de Mars is a place to meet up and celebrate, regularly attracting thousands of people to share in events together, from the traditional 14 July firework displays to a Football World Cup Final. On a daily basis, people meet up there to enjoy some sport, take in the views or simply walk around the vast alleyways and lawns of this magnificent site, which is now one of Paris’ most iconic public gardens. To stage the beach volleyball and blind football events, a temporary outdoor arena will be built in 2024, enabling everyone to enjoy this venue’s magical setting.
Between the Ecole Militaire’s impressive facade to the south and the equally impressive Eiffel Tower on the River Seine side, the Champ de Mars will once again be a community space for meeting up during the Paris 2024 Games. It will be a key venue for the Paris 2024 Games, because, alongside the Eiffel Tower Stadium’s overlay arena, it will host other events in the Grand Palais Overlay, a temporary structure set up on Place Joffre to the south of the site since 2021.
Capacity: 12,860 spectators
Legacy
The venue will be dismantled following the Games. The Champ de Mars will continue to be a magnificent setting for living, gathering and meeting, just as it was before the Games.

An aerial view shows the Parc des Princes stadium and the Jean Bouin stadium in Paris, France.
Parc des Princes is an iconic venue in the history of French sport, located in the City of Light’s 16th arrondissement. It stands out in the Porte de Saint-Cloud landscape with its iconic concrete columns that crown its roof. Built in its current form in 1972, and designed by the architect Robert Taillibert, who was also behind Montreal’s Olympic Stadium, the “Parc” was the country’s largest stadium until the Stade de France was built in 1998. This stadium is ideally positioned to host the Paris 2024 Games.
In addition to being the home of Paris Saint Germain since 1974, the Parc des Princes has staged many matches for the French football and rugby teams, as well as major international competitions, including the 1998 Football World Cup and the Euro 2016 Football Championship, alongside major concerts by French and global stars. When it was France’s largest stadium for over 25 years, it also staged the finals of the Coupe de France for football and the French rugby union championship each year. Its most recent renovation was carried out for Euro 2016.

The Olympic rings are now live in Paris, displayed on our most iconic monument: the Eiffel Tower.
The Eiffel Tower is dressing up for the Olympic Games. On Friday 7 June 2024, the five Olympic rings were installed between the first and second floors of the Eiffel Tower with 50 days to go until the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games Paris 2024.
Parisians could see them on their way to work, as about 200 workers and security agents laboured through the night to ensure everything was ready by the early morning.
Hélène, who lives nearby and came out of curiosity, said: "We finally realise that the Olympics are happening soon. It looks nice, it brings a bit of colour to the Eiffel Tower."
The rings, also known as "spectaculars", were the stars of the show due to their gigantic format – 29 metres wide, 13 metres high and about 30 tonnes. Each ring has a diameter of nine metres.
Paris 2024 president Tony Estanguet commented: "It is wonderful. There are a lot of emotions, and we can feel that things are happening. With the Olympic Torch Relay travelling across the country and now with the unveiling of the Olympic rings, it will transform the face of Paris and rally the entire nation for these memorable Olympic Games."

The 2024 Summer Olympics (French: Jeux olympiques d'été de 2024), officially the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad (French: Jeux de la XXXIIIe Olympiade) and commonly known as Paris 2024, is a forthcoming international multi-sport event that is scheduled to take place from 26 July to 11 August 2024 with Paris as its main host city and 16 cities spread across metropolitan France and one in Tahiti—an island within the French overseas country and overseas collectivity of French Polynesia—as a subsite.
Paris was awarded the Games at the 131st IOC Session in Lima, Peru, on 13 September 2017. Due to multiple withdrawals that left only Paris and Los Angeles in contention, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) approved a process to concurrently award the 2024 and 2028 Summer Olympics to the two cities. Having previously hosted in 1900 and 1924, Paris will become the second city (after London) to host the Summer Olympics three times. Paris 2024 will mark the centenary of Paris 1924, be the sixth Olympic games hosted by France (three in summer and three in winter), and the first Olympic Games in France since the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville.
The Games will feature the debut of breaking (also known as breakdancing) as an Olympic event, and it will be the final Olympic Games held during the presidency of IOC President Thomas Bach.
The preparation for the Games has been marred by the ongoing controversy surrounding the potential participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes. The Paris Olympics are expected to cost €8.3 billion.

The DESIGN OF THE PARIS 2024 GAMES TORCH.
A famous object of the Games, the torch embodies the identity of each edition through its shape, colour and inspirations. The Paris 2024 torch is a piece of art in its own right; one that was designed to reflect the image of these Games. To create it, Paris 2024 chose to work with French designer Mathieu Lehanneur.
The Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games torch is distinguishable primarily by its colour, which is both unique and radiant. To reflect the forthcoming Games, Lehanneur drew inspiration from three themes of Paris 2024: Equality, Water and Peacefulness.

The Stade de France is the national stadium of France, located just north of Paris in the commune of Saint-Denis. Its seating capacity of 80,698 makes it the largest stadium in France. The stadium is used by the French national football and rugby union teams for international competitions. It is the largest in Europe for track and field events, seating 78,338 in that configuration. During other events, the stadium's running track is mostly hidden under the football pitch.
Originally built for the 1998 FIFA World Cup, the stadium's name was recommended by Michel Platini, head of the organising committee. On 12 July 1998, France beat Brazil 3–0 in the 1998 FIFA World Cup Final contested at the stadium. It will host the athletics events at the 2024 Summer Olympics. After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the 2022 UEFA Champions League Final was moved from the Gazprom Arena to the Stade de France.
Athletics at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris are scheduled to run on 1 to 11 August 2024, featuring a total of 48 medal events across three distinct sets: track and field, road running, and racewalking. Four venues are to be used: Pont d'Iéna for race walking, Hôtel de Ville and Les Invalides for the start and end points of the marathon races, and Stade de France for the track and field events.

Paris 2024 Summer Paralympic Games.
South Paris Arena is part of the Paris Expo, an exhibition and convention centre that is one of the most active in Europe and most visited in France. Across 35 hectares, 228,000 sqm of exhibition halls and eight pavilions, the Paris Expo welcomes 7.5 million visitors each year, particularly during the International Agricultural Show. With Halls 1, 4 and 6 hosting a large number of the Games' events (with others set aside for Games logistics), Paris Expo will be a major hub for the Paris 2024 Games.
Built in 1923 to host the Paris Trade Fair (Foire de Paris), the complex has been developed extensively over the years and can now adapt to a wide range of requirements and configurations. An ambitious renovation programme, based on three phases over 10 years with the last one to be completed in 2023, is currently underway to modernise its infrastructure.
Legacy
South Paris Arena, as well as every other hall at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, will continue to host shows, fairs and conventions throughout the year.

The Hôtel de Ville (French pronunciation: [otɛl də vil], City Hall) is the city hall of Paris, France, standing on the Place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville – Esplanade de la Libération in the 4th arrondissement. The south wing was originally constructed by François I beginning in 1535 until 1551. The north wing was built by Henry IV and Louis XIII between 1605 and 1628.[1] It was burned by the Paris Commune, along with all the city archives that it contained, during the Semaine Sanglante, the Commune's final days, in May 1871. The outside was rebuilt following the original design, but larger, between 1874 and 1882, while the inside was considerably modified.[3] It has been the headquarters of the municipality of Paris since 1357. It serves multiple functions, housing the local government council, since 1977 the Mayors of Paris and their cabinets, and also serves as a venue for large receptions.

The 2024 Summer Olympics (French: Jeux olympiques d'été de 2024), officially the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad (French: Jeux de la XXXIIIe Olympiade) and commonly known as Paris 2024, is a forthcoming international multi-sport event that is scheduled to take place from 26 July to 11 August 2024 with Paris as its main host city and 16 cities spread across metropolitan France and one in Tahiti—an island within the French overseas country and overseas collectivity of French Polynesia—as a subsite.
Paris was awarded the Games at the 131st IOC Session in Lima, Peru, on 13 September 2017. Due to multiple withdrawals that left only Paris and Los Angeles in contention, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) approved a process to concurrently award the 2024 and 2028 Summer Olympics to the two cities. Having previously hosted in 1900 and 1924, Paris will become the second city (after London) to host the Summer Olympics three times. Paris 2024 will mark the centenary of Paris 1924, be the sixth Olympic games hosted by France (three in summer and three in winter), and the first Olympic Games in France since the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville.
The Games will feature the debut of breaking (also known as breakdancing) as an Olympic event, and it will be the final Olympic Games held during the presidency of IOC President Thomas Bach.

Champ de mars arena
During the Paris 2024 Games, the prestigious Champ de Mars Arena will be far more than just the “Grand Palais Overlay”. However, this is the name that the Arena is known by up until now, because this 10,000 sqm temporary building is hosting events while work is being carried out on the Grand Palais. In 2024, following the completion of this work, the Champ de Mars Arena will be kept in place for a few more months to host competitions for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Designed by the architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte, the Arena’s timber structure, with its harmonious curves and aesthetics reflecting the Grand Palais, was set up on the Champ de Mars at the start of 2021, opposite the Ecole Militaire.Aligned with this esplanade, it blends seamlessly into the urban landscape. Thanks to its use of sustainable materials and the building’s structure, this project is fully aligned with the environmental standards required by Paris 2024.
Created to host the art, fashion and sports events usually organised in the Nave while the Grand Palais is being renovated, it will also be the stage for cultural events initiated by the Réunion des musées nationaux – Grand Palais.

Parc des Princes is an iconic venue in the history of French sport, located in the City of Light’s 16th arrondissement. It stands out in the Porte de Saint-Cloud landscape with its iconic concrete columns that crown its roof. Built in its current form in 1972, and designed by the architect Robert Taillibert, who was also behind Montreal’s Olympic Stadium, the “Parc” was the country’s largest stadium until the Stade de France was built in 1998. This stadium is ideally positioned to host the Paris 2024 Games.
In addition to being the home of Paris Saint Germain since 1974, the Parc des Princes has staged many matches for the French football and rugby teams, as well as major international competitions, including the 1998 Football World Cup and the Euro 2016 Football Championship, alongside major concerts by French and global stars. When it was France’s largest stadium for over 25 years, it also staged the finals of the Coupe de France for football and the French rugby union championship each year. Its most recent renovation was carried out for Euro 2016.

The Porte de La Chapelle Arena, an eco-design venue thought out for a legacy to benefit neighbouring communities well beyond the Games, will be a new cultural hub to the north of Paris, hosting a range of cultural and sporting events each day. This new facility is designed to be open to all, especially to people living nearby, and to offer a variety of sports activities in its complementary spaces. With its mid-size capacity of 8,000 seats after the Games, the Porte de La Chapelle Arena will further strengthen the choice of sport and live performance venues available throughout Paris. As soon as it opens in 2023, it will be home to Paris Basketball as its resident club.
The La Chapelle Arena’s design is distinctly eco-friendly. 80% of the building’s surface will be covered with greenery, blending gracefully into the parks and gardens that surround the site. The front will be clad with recyclable aluminium and most of the building materials will be bio-based (principally wood). The Arena’s design will also be universal: the main hall, the facilities around it and the terrace over the entire complex will be accessible to everyone.
Capacity :
For the badminton and para badminton events, the Arena will have space for 6,700 spectators.
For the rhythmic gymnastics and para powerlifting, the capacity will increase to 7,000 spectators.

Yves-du-Manoir Stadium
Hosting the Olympic Games twice is a privilege that very few venues will experience. Designed by the architect Louis Faure-Dujarric, Yves-du-Manoir Stadium is one of them. It was the main venue for the eighth Olympiad in 1924, staging the opening ceremony and athletics events for instance. A unique venue in France, it is the only one that will host the second Games in its history in 2024, staging the hockey competitions.
Until 1972, when the Parc des Princes was inaugurated, the Yves-du-Manoir multi-sports venue, named after a French rugby player, was the main stadium in the Paris Region. Located in Colombes, northwest of Paris, it has hosted around 250 national and international competitions over the past century, from athletics to rugby, football and even boxing, including the World Championship in 1972, in front of 40,000 spectators.
Yves-du-Manoir Stadium has already been renovated several times, and the Hauts-de-Seine department, which owns this facility, will be launching a modernisation programme to benefit its communities, associations, schools and universities.

Paris La Defense Arena
In 2024, for the first time, the Paris La Défense Arena, located in Nanterre, is transforming into an Olympic swimming pool. Paris La Défense Arena is a truly exceptional facility in terms of its scale, its capacity and its technology: 13km of stands, 5,500-tonne framework, 28,632 sq.m of courts and pitches… While this venue has already welcomed more than 2 million spectators since it opened, with performances from leading international artists, conventions and seminars, as well as the rugby matches of Racing 92, its resident club, in 2024 it will host swimming events for the very first time. How? Thanks to a modular, multipurpose structure.
With its iconic modern design by the architect Christian de Portzamparc, the Arena opened its doors in 2017. Located in the city of Nanterre, it has the world’s largest interactive giant screen, with an innovative technology and 1,400 sqm of display area, equivalent to seven tennis courts.
With the 600 dynamic giant aluminium and glass scales that make up the building’s exterior facade, the Arena seems to come to life for the various events that it stages. In 2024, it will be flying the colours of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games!

Chateau de Versailles
The Château de Versailles, an iconic symbol recognised worldwide, illustrating France’s global reputation, will welcome the Olympic Games in a magnificent setting with a rich history. Initially built as a simple hunting lodge, the Château de Versailles was home to the court of Louis XIV in 1682 and became the epicentre of French royalty. From 1883, with its magnificent gardens, it became a national museum, open to the public, and it was the first French site to be awarded UNESCO World Heritage status, in 1979.
Thanks to overlay facilities, certain Paris 2024 events will be staged in a truly exceptional and historical setting. A temporary outdoor arena, flanked by several stands, will be set up on the Etoile Royale esplanade, to the west of the Grand Canal, at the heart of the Palace’s gardens. This arena will stage two eventing disciplines (dressage test and jumping), as well as the jumping and dressage competitions (Olympic and Paralympic). The individual and team eventing cross-country section will be held alongside the Grand Canal, while the five modern pentathlon events will also be organised at the Château de Versailles.
Capacity: 15,000 or 40,000 spectators, depending on the event.

Golf National
What could be a better showcase than one of Europe’s most prestigious golf sites to host the world’s most beautiful competition?

Marina de Marseille
For the sailing events, Paris 2024 sails on the Mediterranean. Due to its geographical location, Marseille is a city naturally turned towards the sea, which offers exceptional sailing conditions. The city's internationally recognized expertise in hosting and organizing nautical events makes the Marseille city and its Marina the ideal site for the sailing competitions of the Paris 2024 Games.
On the occasion of the Games, the Roucas-Blanc Marina, the departure point for the boats, is adapted to reception measures for a competition on the scale of the Olympic Games. The program provides for the construction of approximately 7,000 m² of buildings and the reorganization of 17,000 m² of outdoor spaces as well as a redevelopment of the pool which will make it a remarkable competition site.
The strong potential of the already existing site, with its remarkable exposure on the Corniche, allows the thousands of spectators who will travel in 2024 to follow the events with real proximity. The quality of the water off Marseille, with a fairly constant wind, a configuration of the coast well oriented in relation to the prevailing winds, without current or tide, guarantee ideal tactical and strategic conditions for the competitors.
Note that the city of Marseille also hosts matches of the Olympic football tournament at the Vélodrome stadium.

The 2024 Summer Olympics (French: Jeux olympiques d'été de 2024), officially the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad (French: Jeux de la XXXIIIe Olympiade) and commonly known as Paris 2024, is a forthcoming international multi-sport event that is scheduled to take place from 26 July to 11 August 2024 with Paris as its main host city and 16 cities spread across metropolitan France and one in Tahiti—an island within the French overseas country and overseas collectivity of French Polynesia—as a subsite.
Paris was awarded the Games at the 131st IOC Session in Lima, Peru, on 13 September 2017. Due to multiple withdrawals that left only Paris and Los Angeles in contention, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) approved a process to concurrently award the 2024 and 2028 Summer Olympics to the two cities. Having previously hosted in 1900 and 1924, Paris will become the second city (after London) to host the Summer Olympics three times. Paris 2024 will mark the centenary of Paris 1924, be the sixth Olympic games hosted by France (three in summer and three in winter), and the first Olympic Games in France since the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville.
The Games will feature the debut of breaking (also known as breakdancing) as an Olympic event, and it will be the final Olympic Games held during the presidency of IOC President Thomas Bach.
The preparation for the Games has been marred by the ongoing controversy surrounding the potential participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes. The Paris Olympics are expected to cost €8.3 billion.

Renovated between 2014 and 2015 to modernise its infrastructure, the Bercy Arena ticks all of the boxes today for hosting major competitions and cultural events. Bercy has nothing left to prove: since it was inaugurated, this multi-sports venue has already welcomed more than 30 million spectators at hundreds of events, from athletics to basketball, ice hockey and motocross.
Capacity: 15,000 spectators

The 2024 Summer Olympics (French: Jeux olympiques d'été de 2024), officially the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad (French: Jeux de la XXXIIIe Olympiade) and commonly known as Paris 2024, is a forthcoming international multi-sport event that is scheduled to take place from 26 July to 11 August 2024 with Paris as its main host city and 16 cities spread across metropolitan France and one in Tahiti—an island within the French overseas country and overseas collectivity of French Polynesia—as a subsite.
Paris was awarded the Games at the 131st IOC Session in Lima, Peru, on 13 September 2017. Due to multiple withdrawals that left only Paris and Los Angeles in contention, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) approved a process to concurrently award the 2024 and 2028 Summer Olympics to the two cities. Having previously hosted in 1900 and 1924, Paris will become the second city (after London) to host the Summer Olympics three times. Paris 2024 will mark the centenary of Paris 1924, be the sixth Olympic games hosted by France (three in summer and three in winter), and the first Olympic Games in France since the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville.
The Games will feature the debut of breaking (also known as breakdancing) as an Olympic event, and it will be the final Olympic Games held during the presidency of IOC President Thomas Bach.
The preparation for the Games has been marred by the ongoing controversy surrounding the potential participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes. The Paris Olympics are expected to cost €8.3 billion.

Tokyo 2020 Olympics mascots Funny vector cartoon on white background
Miraitowa is the official mascot of the 2020 Summer Olympics, and Someity is the official mascot of the 2020 Summer Paralympics. Both events are scheduled to be held in Tokyo, Japan. The checkered design on both mascots was inspired by the Tokyo 2020 official logo, while Someity's pink design was inspired by cherry blossoms. Both fictional characters have various superpowers, such as teleportation.
Created by Japanese artist Ryo Taniguchi, the mascots were selected from a competition process which took place in late 2017 and early 2018. A total of 2,042 candidate designs were submitted to the Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee, which selected three pairs of unnamed mascot designs to present to Japanese elementary school students for the final decision. The results of the selection were announced on 28 February 2018, and the mascots were named on 22 July 2018. Miraitowa is named after the Japanese words for "future" and "eternity", and Someity is named after someiyoshino, a type of cherry blossom. Someity's name also references the English phrase "so mighty". The mascots are expected to help finance the Tokyo Games through merchandising and licensing deals.

The 2020 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXXII Olympiad (Japanese: 第三十二回オリンピック競技大会 Hepburn: Dai Sanjūni-kai Orinpikku Kyōgi Taikai) and commonly known as Tokyo 2020, is a forthcoming international multi-sport event that is scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020.
Tokyo was selected as the host city during the 125th IOC Session in Buenos Aires on 7 September 2013. These Games will mark the return of the Summer Olympics to Tokyo for the first time since 1964, and the fourth Olympics overall to be held in Japan, following the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo and the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano. They will be the second of three consecutive Olympic Games to be held in East Asia, following the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, and preceding the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China.
These Games will see the introduction of additional disciplines within several of the Summer Olympics sports, including 3x3 basketball, freestyle BMX and Madison cycling, as well as further mixed events. Under new IOC policies that allow sports to be added to the Games' programme to augment the permanent "core" Olympic events, these Games will see karate, sport climbing, surfing and skateboarding make their Olympic debuts, and the return of baseball and softball (which were removed from the summer programme after 2008).

The 2020 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXXII Olympiad (Japanese: 第三十二回オリンピック競技大会 Hepburn: Dai Sanjūni-kai Orinpikku Kyōgi Taikai) and commonly known as Tokyo 2020, is a forthcoming international multi-sport event that is scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020.
Tokyo was selected as the host city during the 125th IOC Session in Buenos Aires on 7 September 2013. These Games will mark the return of the Summer Olympics to Tokyo for the first time since 1964, and the fourth Olympics overall to be held in Japan, following the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo and the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano. They will be the second of three consecutive Olympic Games to be held in East Asia, following the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, and preceding the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China.
These Games will see the introduction of additional disciplines within several of the Summer Olympics sports, including 3x3 basketball, freestyle BMX and Madison cycling, as well as further mixed events. Under new IOC policies that allow sports to be added to the Games' programme to augment the permanent "core" Olympic events, these Games will see karate, sport climbing, surfing and skateboarding make their Olympic debuts, and the return of baseball and softball (which were removed from the summer programme after 2008).

The stadium will serve as the main stadium for the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as the venue for track and field events at the 2020 Summer Olympics and 2020 Summer Paralympics.
Demolition of the old National Stadium was completed in May 2015, allowing for the construction of the new stadium to begin on 11 December 2016.
The original plans for the new stadium were scrapped in July 2015 by Prime Minister of Japan Shinzō Abe, who announced a rebid after a public outcry because of increased building costs. As a result, the new design was not ready for the 2019 Rugby World Cup, as originally intended. A new design created by architect Kengo Kuma was chosen in December 2015 to replace the original design, which was completed on 30 November 2019.

Tokyo 2020 Olympics Mascots - Miraitowa and Someity
Miraitowa is the official mascot of the 2020 Summer Olympics, and Someity is the official mascot of the 2020 Summer Paralympics. Both events are scheduled to be held in Tokyo, Japan. The checkered design on both mascots was inspired by the Tokyo 2020 official logo, while Someity's pink design was inspired by cherry blossoms. Both fictional characters have various superpowers, such as teleportation.
Created by Japanese artist Ryo Taniguchi, the mascots were selected from a competition process which took place in late 2017 and early 2018. A total of 2,042 candidate designs were submitted to the Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee, which selected three pairs of unnamed mascot designs to present to Japanese elementary school students for the final decision. The results of the selection were announced on 28 February 2018, and the mascots were named on 22 July 2018. Miraitowa is named after the Japanese words for "future" and "eternity", and Someity is named after someiyoshino, a type of cherry blossom. Someity's name also references the English phrase "so mighty". The mascots are expected to help finance the Tokyo Games through merchandising and licensing deals.

The 2018 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XXIII Olympic Winter Games (Korean: 제23회 동계 올림픽, translit. Jeisipsamhoe Donggye Ollimpik) and commonly known as PyeongChang 2018, was an international winter multi-sport event that was held between 9 and 25 February 2018 in Pyeongchang County, Gangwon Province, South Korea, with the opening rounds for certain events held on 8 February 2018, the eve of the opening ceremony.
Pyeongchang was elected as the host city in July 2011, during the 123rd IOC Session in Durban, South Africa. This was the first time that South Korea had hosted the Winter Olympics and the second Olympics held in the country overall, after the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. It was the third time that an East Asian country had hosted the Winter Games, after Sapporo (1972) and Nagano (1998), both in Japan. It was also the first of three consecutive Olympics to be held in East Asia, the other two being the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo and the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.
The Games featured 102 events over fifteen disciplines in seven sports, with the addition of "big air" snowboarding, mass start speed skating, mixed doubles curling, and mixed team alpine skiing to the Winter Olympic programme. 2,914 athletes from 92 NOCs competed, including the debuts of Ecuador, Eritrea, Kosovo, Malaysia, Nigeria and Singapore. After a state-sponsored doping program was exposed following the 2014 Winter Olympics, the Russian Olympic Committee was suspended, and selected athletes were allowed to compete neutrally under the IOC designation of "Olympic Athletes from Russia". Despite tense relations, North Korea agreed to participate in the Games, enter with South Korea during the opening ceremony as a unified Korea, and field a unified team in women's ice hockey.
Norway led the total medal tally with 39, followed by Germany's 31 and Canada's 29. Germany and Norway were tied for the most gold medals won; both won fourteen golds. Host nation South Korea won seventeen medals, their highest medal haul at a Winter Olympics, five of which were gold.

The elected host city was announced on 6 July 2011 by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) after the 123rd IOC Session in Durban, South Africa. Pyeongchang won its bid on the first round of voting, receiving more votes than both Munich, Germany and Annecy, France.
The 2018 Olympics will be the second Olympic Games held in South Korea, after the 1988 Summer Olympics held in Seoul, and will be South Korea's first Winter Games. Pyeongchang will be the third Asian city to host the Winter Games after Sapporo, Japan (1972), and Nagano, Japan (1998).

The 2018 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XXIII Olympic Winter Games (Korean: 제23회 동계 올림픽, translit. Jeisipsamhoe Donggye Ollimpik), officially stylized and commonly known as PyeongChang 2018, is an international winter multi-sport event currently being held from 9 to 25 February 2018 in Pyeongchang County, Gangwon Province, South Korea, with the opening rounds for certain events held on the eve of the opening ceremony—8 February 2018. Pyeongchang was elected as the host in July 2011, during the 123rd IOC Session in Durban, South Africa. It marks the first time South Korea has hosted the Winter Olympics, and the second Olympics in the country overall after the 1988 Summer Olympics in the nation's capital, Seoul. It also marks the third time East Asia has hosted the Winter Games, after Sapporo, Japan (1972), and Nagano, Japan (1998), and the sixth overall Olympic Games held in East Asia. It is the first of three consecutive Olympic Games scheduled to be held in East Asia, preceding Tokyo 2020 (Summer) and Beijing 2022 (Winter).
The games feature 102 events in fifteen sports, with the addition of "big air" snowboarding, mass start speed skating, mixed doubles curling, and mixed team alpine skiing to the Winter Olympic programme. 2,914 athletes from 92 National Olympic Committees are expected to compete, including the debuts of Ecuador, Eritrea, Kosovo, Malaysia, Nigeria and Singapore.
The lead-up to these Games was affected by the ongoing tensions between South Korea and North Korea, and the ongoing 2017–18 missile crisis. These led to security concerns, with several countries threatening to skip the games if their safety was not ensured. In January 2018, after their first high-level talks in over two years, North Korea agreed to participate in the Games along with South Korea. The countries also agreed to march together, as a united "Korea", during the opening ceremony, and to field a unified women's ice hockey team.

It was also the first of three consecutive Olympics to be held in East Asia, the other two being the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo and the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.
The Games featured 102 events over fifteen disciplines in seven sports, with the addition of "big air" snowboarding, mass start speed skating, mixed doubles curling, and mixed team alpine skiing to the Winter Olympic programme. 2,914 athletes from 92 NOCs competed, including the debuts of Ecuador, Eritrea, Kosovo, Malaysia, Nigeria and Singapore. After a state-sponsored doping program was exposed following the 2014 Winter Olympics, the Russian Olympic Committee was suspended, and selected athletes were allowed to compete neutrally under the IOC designation of "Olympic Athletes from Russia". Despite tense relations, North Korea agreed to participate in the Games, enter with South Korea during the opening ceremony as a unified Korea, and field a unified team in women's ice hockey.
Norway led the total medal tally with 39, followed by Germany's 31 and Canada's 29. Germany and Norway were tied for the most gold medals won; both won fourteen golds. Host nation South Korea won seventeen medals, their highest medal haul at a Winter Olympics, five of which were gold.

TOKYO, JAPAN : Aerial view of New National Stadium, fully completed main stadium for Olympic Summer Games 2020 at sunset, skyscrapers skyline of modern district Shinjuku in background.
New National Stadium (新国立競技場, Shin kokuritsu kyōgijō) is a multi-purpose stadium in Kasumigaoka, Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan. The stadium will serve as the main stadium for the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as the venue for track and field events at the 2020 Summer Olympics and 2020 Summer Paralympics. The stadium has a capacity of 68,000.
Demolition of the old National Stadium was completed in May 2015, allowing for the construction of the new stadium to begin on 11 December 2016.
The original plans for the new stadium were scrapped in July 2015 by Prime Minister of Japan Shinzō Abe, who announced a rebid after a public outcry because of increased building costs. As a result, the new design was not ready for the 2019 Rugby World Cup, as originally intended. A new design created by architect Kengo Kuma was chosen in December 2015 to replace the original design, which was completed on 30 November 2019.

Under new IOC policies that allow the host organizing committee to add sports to the Olympic programme to augment the permanent core Olympic events, these Games will see karate, sport climbing, surfing and skateboarding make their Olympic debuts, as well as the return of baseball and softball for the first time since 2008.

Miraitowa (left), the official mascot of the 2020 Summer Olympics, and Someity (right), the official mascot of the 2020 Summer Paralympics.
Miraitowa (Japanese: ミライトワ) is the official mascot of the 2020 Summer Olympics, and Someity (Japanese: ソメイティ) is the official mascot of the 2020 Summer Paralympics. Both events are scheduled to be held in Tokyo, Japan, in 2021.[a] The checkered design on both mascots was inspired by the Tokyo 2020 official logo, while Someity's pink design was inspired by cherry blossoms. Both fictional characters have various superpowers, such as teleportation.
Created by Japanese artist Ryo Taniguchi, the mascots were selected from a competition process which took place in late 2017 and early 2018. A total of 2,042 candidate designs were submitted to the Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee, which selected three pairs of unnamed mascot designs to present to Japanese elementary school students for the final decision. The results of the selection were announced on 28 February 2018, and the mascots were named on 22 July 2018. Miraitowa is named after the Japanese words for "future" and "eternity", and Someity is named after someiyoshino, a type of cherry blossom. Someity's name also references the English phrase "so mighty". The mascots are expected to help finance the Tokyo Games through merchandising and licensing deals.

The Japan National Stadium (国立競技場, Kokuritsu kyōgijō), formerly known as New National Stadium, officially named National Stadium, is a multi-purpose stadium used mostly for association football in Kasumigaoka, Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan. The stadium will serve as the main stadium for the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as the venue for track and field athletics events at the 2020 Summer Olympics and Paralympics in 2021.
Demolition of the old National Stadium was completed in May 2015, allowing for the construction of the new stadium to begin on 11 December 2016.
The original plans for the new stadium were scrapped in July 2015 by Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe, who announced a rebid after a public outcry because of increased building costs. As a result, the new design was not ready for the 2019 Rugby World Cup, as originally intended. A new design created by architect Kengo Kuma was chosen in December 2015 to replace the original design, which was completed on 30 November 2019.

An Olympic Village is an accommodation center built for the Olympic Games, usually within an Olympic Park or elsewhere in a host city. Olympic Villages are built to house all participating athletes, as well as officials and athletic trainers. After the Munich Massacre at the 1972 Olympics, the Villages have been made extremely secure. Only athletes, trainers and officials are allowed to room at the Village, though family members and former Olympic athletes are allowed inside with proper checks. Press and media are also barred.

Symbol for the Winter Olympic Games in 2022, Olympic object in Beijing, China. It was built for the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008.
The 2022 Winter Olympics, officially called the XXIV Olympic Winter Games (Chinese: 第二十四届冬季奥林匹克运动会; pinyin: Dì Èrshísì Jiè Dōngjì Àolínpǐkè Yùndònghuì) and commonly known as Beijing 2022 (北京2022), is a 2022 international winter multi-sport event taking place in Beijing, China, and in the nearby district of Chongli in Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province. The games officially opened on 4 February with preliminary events beginning on 2 February. The games are scheduled to conclude on 20 February 2022.
Beijing was selected as host city in 2015 by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) at its 128th session in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia choosing it over Almaty, Kazakhstan after Oslo, Norway withdrawn had been canceled in the wake of a series of revelations about IOC's demands for luxury treatment of IOC members, that turned public opinion and the parliamentary majority against the event. The 2022 Winter Olympics are the first Winter Olympic Games in China, the third overall Olympics in China, and the last of three consecutive Olympics in East Asia (after the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, and the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan). In 2022, Beijing became the first city in the world that has hosted both the Summer and Winter Olympic Games, making it the inaugural dual Olympic city.
A total of 2,871 athletes representing 91 NOC's took part in the games. They took part in 109 events in seven sports (15 disciplines).
The 2022 Games are subject to various concerns and controversies including those related to human rights violations in China, such as the Uyghur genocide, which has led to calls for a boycott of the games.[7][8] Like the Summer Olympics held six months earlier in Tokyo, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the implementation of health and safety protocols including restrictions on public attendance at the Games, as well as the non-participation of some nations.

The 2024 Summer Olympics (French: Jeux olympiques d'été de 2024), officially the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad (French: Jeux de la XXXIIIe Olympiade) and commonly known as Paris 2024, is a forthcoming international multi-sport event scheduled to take place from 26 July to 11 August 2024 in France, with Paris as the main host city and 16 other cities spread across metropolitan France, plus one subsite in Tahiti—an island within the French overseas country and overseas collectivity of French Polynesia.
Paris was awarded the Games at the 131st IOC Session in Lima, Peru, on 13 September 2017. After multiple withdrawals that left only Paris and Los Angeles in contention, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) approved a process to concurrently award the 2024 and 2028 Summer Olympics to the two cities. Having previously hosted in 1900 and 1924, Paris will become the second city (after London) to host the Summer Olympics three times. (London were the hosts in 1908, 1948 and 2012). Paris 2024 will also mark the centenary of Paris 1924, and these Olympic Games will be the sixth hosted by France (three in summer and three in winter), and the first French Olympics since the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville. Following Paris 2024, the Summer Games will return to the traditional four-year Olympiad cycle, as the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo was delayed by one year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Paris 2024 will feature the debut of breaking (also known as breakdancing) as an Olympic event, and it will be the final Olympic Games held during the presidency of IOC President Thomas Bach. Preparations for these Games have been marred by the ongoing controversy surrounding the potential participation of athletes from Russia and Belarus. The Paris Olympics are expected to cost €8.3 billion.

Pont Alexandre III is a bridge between the Seine’s two banks, at the heart of Paris and surrounded by the countless monuments sprinkled across the capital. It has been part of the city’s most memorable events since it was inaugurated for the 1900 Exposition Universelle, and is a work of art and monument in its own right.
The bridge is 45 metres wide, 107 metres long, bounded by four impressive columns supporting golden bronze statues, and will provide a spectacular backdrop for several events during the Paris 2024 Games.
Pont Alexandre III connects two other Paris 2024 sports venues: the Grand Palais and Invalides, and is the perfect illustration of Paris 2024’s aim to bring the Games to life in the centre of the world’s most beautiful city and amid its best-known, most-loved landmarks. The bridge linking Invalides and the Grand Palais is also a stone’s throw from Concorde, the Arena Champ-de-Mars, Pont d’Iéna and the Eiffel Tower stadium, so the entire area will be abuzz with energy during the Games. It will provide a majestic setting for the finish line of the individual cycling time trials, swimming marathon, triathlon and para triathlon.

It was built to stage certain matches for Euro 2016, and was inaugurated at the start of 2016 in Décines, near Lyon. Previously the capital of the Gauls, the city now has a brand-new multifunctional venue, the third largest in France in terms of capacity, that can host major international events all year round, which will represent an additional asset for welcoming spectators for the Olympic Games in 2024.
The stadium was designed by the architects Populous. It was built with the ambition to limit its environmental impact: for instance, 100% of its energy is renewable, thanks in particular to its rooftop solar panels. The pitch benefits from its advanced technology, and various spaces have been created for the athletes, the media and even several restaurants, thanks to the 8,000 sqm of space available. In addition to the matches of Olympique Lyonnais in the Champions League and the French football competitions, the Stadium has hosted many high-level events, including one of the semi-finals for Euro 2016 and the Europa League final in 2018, as well as concerts with international stars such as Rihanna and Ed Sheer.

The Château de Versailles, an iconic symbol recognised worldwide, illustrating France’s global reputation, will welcome the Olympic Games in a magnificent setting with a rich history. Initially built as a simple hunting lodge, the Château de Versailles was home to the court of Louis XIV in 1682 and became the epicentre of French royalty. From 1883, with its magnificent gardens, it became a national museum, open to the public, and it was the first French site to be awarded UNESCO World Heritage status, in 1979.
Thanks to overlay facilities, certain Paris 2024 events will be staged in a truly exceptional and historical setting. A temporary outdoor arena, flanked by several stands, will be set up on the Etoile Royale esplanade, to the west of the Grand Canal, at the heart of the Palace’s gardens. This arena will stage two eventing disciplines (dressage test and jumping), as well as the jumping and dressage competitions (Olympic and Paralympic). The individual and team eventing cross-country section will be held alongside the Grand Canal, while the five modern pentathlon events will also be organised at the Château de Versailles.

Roland-Garros is a legendary stadium. An iconic global tennis stadium, it will be a key venue for the Paris 2024 Games, for which it is writing a new no-less legendary page in its history. For the Paris 2024 Games, Roland-Garros will host not only the tennis and wheelchair tennis competitions, but also boxing.
Named in memory of the French aviator Roland Garros, the stadium was built in 1928 as the stage for the achievements of French players at the Davis Cup. Located on the edge of Bois de Boulogne, close to Parc des Princes, Roland-Garros hosts one of the four Grand Slam tournaments each year, a major global sporting event that is broadcast in more than 220 countries worldwide, organised by the French Tennis Federation.
Extended and modernised on a number of occasions over the years to rival the other Grand Slam venues, Roland-Garros Stadium is now spread over 12 hectares and has 18 clay courts. The latest modernisation plan, rolled out from 2015 to 2021, has made it possible to install a retractable roof with a revolutionary design for the Philippe-Chatrier court, while building a 5,000-seat court, named after Simonne-Mathieu and integrated into the Jardin des serres d’Auteuil gardens.
Capacity Philippe-Chatrier court: 14,962 people.

The Paris city hall gets its new decoration inspired by the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Tuesday, Nov. 28, 2023 in Paris.
The Hôtel de Ville (French pronunciation: [otɛl də vil], City Hall) is the city hall of Paris, France, standing on the Place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville – Esplanade de la Libération in the 4th arrondissement. The south wing was originally constructed by François I beginning in 1535 until 1551. The north wing was built by Henry IV and Louis XIII between 1605 and 1628.[1] It was burned by the Paris Commune, along with all the city archives that it contained, during the Semaine Sanglante, the Commune's final days, in May 1871. The outside was rebuilt following the original design, but larger, between 1874 and 1882, while the inside was considerably modified.[3] It has been the headquarters of the municipality of Paris since 1357. It serves multiple functions, housing the local government council, since 1977 the Mayors of Paris and their cabinets, and also serves as a venue for large receptions.

Rendering of the Paris 2024 opening ceremony on the Seine river.
The river Seine will host one of the most innovative Opening Ceremonies to date for the Olympic Games Paris 2024, in what promises to be a stunning event to kick off the Games in the French capital.
Making history
As part of a historic move, instead of the traditional stadium setting, Paris 2024’s Opening Ceremony will be set against the backdrop of the French capital. More than 160 boats will carry delegations down a six-kilometre route from Pont d’Austerlitz to the Trocadéro, passing many famous Parisian monuments, bridges and cultural institutions, such as Notre Dame cathedral, the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower.
With free public access to part of the riverbanks, as well as viewing areas on the many bridges and quays along the route, more than 600,000 spectators are expected to welcome you and your fellow athletes from across the world for the Parade of Nations.
Speaking about the concept, IOC President Thomas Bach said: “Organising the Opening Ceremony along the Seine, the emblematic river in the very heart of the city, perfectly aligns with Paris 2024’s ambition to reinvent the Games model by opening up participation to as many people as possible.
“This Ceremony will be an exceptional experience for all the athletes taking part, but also, and above all, for the people of Paris, for France and for the whole world.”
Paris 2024 President Tony Estanguet added: “Rest assured, the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony will be nothing short of magical. Its staging will be ground-breaking. It will be a ceremony for the people, open to one and all. It will show the world the very best of France. A party like no other – and the world is invited!”

The 2024 Summer Olympics (French: Jeux olympiques d'été de 2024), officially the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad (French: Jeux de la XXXIIIe Olympiade) and commonly known as Paris 2024, is a forthcoming international multi-sport event that is scheduled to take place from 26 July to 11 August 2024 with Paris as its main host city and 16 cities spread across metropolitan France and one in Tahiti—an island within the French overseas country and overseas collectivity of French Polynesia—as a subsite.
Paris was awarded the Games at the 131st IOC Session in Lima, Peru, on 13 September 2017. Due to multiple withdrawals that left only Paris and Los Angeles in contention, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) approved a process to concurrently award the 2024 and 2028 Summer Olympics to the two cities. Having previously hosted in 1900 and 1924, Paris will become the second city (after London) to host the Summer Olympics three times. Paris 2024 will mark the centenary of Paris 1924, be the sixth Olympic games hosted by France (three in summer and three in winter), and the first Olympic Games in France since the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville.
The Games will feature the debut of breaking (also known as breakdancing) as an Olympic event, and it will be the final Olympic Games held during the presidency of IOC President Thomas Bach.
The preparation for the Games has been marred by the ongoing controversy surrounding the potential participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes. The Paris Olympics are expected to cost €8.3 billion.

The Porte de La Chapelle Arena, an eco-design venue thought out for a legacy to benefit neighbouring communities well beyond the Games, will be a new cultural hub to the north of Paris, hosting a range of cultural and sporting events each day. This new facility is designed to be open to all, especially to people living nearby, and to offer a variety of sports activities in its complementary spaces. With its mid-size capacity of 8,000 seats after the Games, the Porte de La Chapelle Arena will further strengthen the choice of sport and live performance venues available throughout Paris. As soon as it opens in 2023, it will be home to Paris Basketball as its resident club.
The La Chapelle Arena’s design is distinctly eco-friendly. 80% of the building’s surface will be covered with greenery, blending gracefully into the parks and gardens that surround the site. The front will be clad with recyclable aluminium and most of the building materials will be bio-based (principally wood). The Arena’s design will also be universal: the main hall, the facilities around it and the terrace over the entire complex will be accessible to everyone.

The Olympic and Paralympic village
Located some 7 km north of the centre of Paris, overlapping the communes of Saint-Denis, Ile Saint-Denis and Saint-Ouen and less than 5 minutes away from the Stade de France, the village will be the epicentre of the Paris 2024 design. Comprised within a radius of 500 m, the compactness of the village makes it functional and ideal for athletes. It includes three main areas: the Olympic Village Plazza, an international zone open onto the Seine river, a residential area around the Cité du Cinéma, and an operational area connected to the road networks (A86 and A1). The village will be served by the future hub of the Greater Paris underground (2 RER and 5 underground lines).
This exceptional 51-hectare site will help athletes perform. Aside from those training at their competition venues, 100% of the athletes will train within 20 minutes from the Village, and 60% of those will train within the Village itself. 85% of athletes will be accommodated less than 30 minutes away from their competition venue.
A welcoming and comfortable place to mix cultures and share experiences.
Centred around the film studio of the Cité du Cinéma, the village includes many recreational areas along the banks of the Seine river. Seven hectares of stretches of water will provide athletes with a serene and relaxing environment before and after competitions.
They will benefit from common services in iconic heritage buildings: The nave of the Cité du Cinéma will house the dining hall, while the Maxwell Hall will house a fitness centre, a café, the information and service centres, etc.
Athletes will also be able to meet in many green areas, including shared gardens on the roofs of the buildings and between the building blocks.

Teahupoo - Tahiti
Paris 2024 is aiming to take celebrations to new heights and treat audiences to breath-taking sports – in the spirit that has guided the Olympic Games since their inception. It has added four spectacular disciplines, including surfing, and hand-picked spots and venues to match them. For its second appearance at the Games, following Tokyo in 2021, surfing has a setting that is worthy of this event with the Teahupo’o wave, in Tahiti, one of the most selective in the world and without doubt one of the most beautiful at this time of the year.
The decision to stage the surfing competitions at Teahupo’o tallies with Paris 2024’s ambition to spread the Games across France. It offers an opportunity to engage French overseas territories and their communities in the Olympic Games – for the first time in history – while showcasing France’s rich and diverse heritage.
The waves at Teahupo’o will offer an Olympic-class challenge for the athletes, and treat fans in Tahiti and around the world to a breath-taking experience. Tahiti will host a one-of-a-kind competition in a spot that surfers the world over revere: Teahupo’o has been hosting the Pro Tahiti world championship event for over two decades and is one of the highlights on the Men’s Championship Tour. It is a dream spot for many leading surfers, and some of them – including Gabriel Medina, Kelly Slater, Jérémy Florès, Andy Irons and Mark Occhilupo – have been lucky enough to conquer it. From 1999 to 2006, it was part of the Women’s circuit, and it has made its big return in August 2022.
The competition venue has been designed to protect the island’s extraordinary natural surroundings. The event will not affect the coastline because the waves break offshore. And fans will be able to enjoy the thrills and chills at the live sites, while celebrating Polynesian culture, the Olympic spirt and Paris 2024’s values.
Capacity: 600 people standing.

During the Paris 2024 Games, the prestigious Champ de Mars Arena will be far more than just the “Grand Palais Overlay”. However, this is the name that the Arena is known by up until now, because this 10,000 sqm temporary building is hosting events while work is being carried out on the Grand Palais. In 2024, following the completion of this work, the Champ de Mars Arena will be kept in place for a few more months to host competitions for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Designed by the architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte, the Arena’s timber structure, with its harmonious curves and aesthetics reflecting the Grand Palais, was set up on the Champ de Mars at the start of 2021, opposite the Ecole Militaire.Aligned with this esplanade, it blends seamlessly into the urban landscape. Thanks to its use of sustainable materials and the building’s structure, this project is fully aligned with the environmental standards required by Paris 2024.
Created to host the art, fashion and sports events usually organised in the Nave while the Grand Palais is being renovated, it will also be the stage for cultural events initiated by the Réunion des musées nationaux – Grand Palais.

Having previously hosted in 1900 and 1924, Paris will become the second city (after London) to host the Summer Olympics three times. Paris 2024 will mark the centenary of Paris 1924, be the sixth Olympic games hosted by France (three in summer and three in winter), and the first Olympic Games in France since the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville.
The Games will feature the debut of breaking (also known as breakdancing) as an Olympic event, and it will be the final Olympic Games held during the presidency of IOC President Thomas Bach.
The preparation for the Games has been marred by the ongoing controversy surrounding the potential participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes. The Paris Olympics are expected to cost €8.3 billion.

The Olympic and Paralympic village
Located some 7 km north of the centre of Paris, overlapping the communes of Saint-Denis, Ile Saint-Denis and Saint-Ouen and less than 5 minutes away from the Stade de France, the village will be the epicentre of the Paris 2024 design. Comprised within a radius of 500 m, the compactness of the village makes it functional and ideal for athletes. It includes three main areas: the Olympic Village Plazza, an international zone open onto the Seine river, a residential area around the Cité du Cinéma, and an operational area connected to the road networks (A86 and A1). The village will be served by the future hub of the Greater Paris underground (2 RER and 5 underground lines).
This exceptional 51-hectare site will help athletes perform. Aside from those training at their competition venues, 100% of the athletes will train within 20 minutes from the Village, and 60% of those will train within the Village itself. 85% of athletes will be accommodated less than 30 minutes away from their competition venue.
A welcoming and comfortable place to mix cultures and share experiences.
Centred around the film studio of the Cité du Cinéma, the village includes many recreational areas along the banks of the Seine river. Seven hectares of stretches of water will provide athletes with a serene and relaxing environment before and after competitions.
They will benefit from common services in iconic heritage buildings: The nave of the Cité du Cinéma will house the dining hall, while the Maxwell Hall will house a fitness centre, a café, the information and service centres, etc.
Athletes will also be able to meet in many green areas, including shared gardens on the roofs of the buildings and between the building blocks.

The Aquatics Centre is the only permanent sports facility to be built for the Paris 2024 Games, under the authority of the Metropole du Grand Paris. In 2024, it will welcome the world’s greatest athletes for the artistic swimming, water polo and diving events. Looking beyond the Games, the Aquatics Centre has been designed to address the needs of Seine-Saint-Denis, its host region, and the French swimming community, which will now have a facility that can host the biggest national and international competitions.
It will connect to the neighbouring Stade de France over a footbridge spanning the A1 motorway, and is a meaningful public investment for Seine Saint Denis, which is seriously lacking in sports facilities today. The Aquatics Centre’s novel configuration will be modular: it will be able to switch from a 5,000-seat venue during the Games to a 2,500-seat facility to host neighbourhood events afterwards.
The Aquatics Centre will be low-carbon and all the building materials will be bio-based. Its timber structure and roof frame are thought out to blend seamlessly into the surrounding greenery. With a 5,000 sqm roof covered with photovoltaic panels, it will be one of France’s largest urban solar farms and supply all the energy that the Centre needs.
The interior fittings will be made of recycled materials – and made in France to showcase the country’s expertise in environmental performance.

During the Paris 2024 Games, the prestigious Champ de Mars Arena will be far more than just the “Grand Palais Overlay”. However, this is the name that the Arena is known by up until now, because this 10,000 sqm temporary building is hosting events while work is being carried out on the Grand Palais. In 2024, following the completion of this work, the Champ de Mars Arena will be kept in place for a few more months to host competitions for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Designed by the architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte, the Arena’s timber structure, with its harmonious curves and aesthetics reflecting the Grand Palais, was set up on the Champ de Mars at the start of 2021, opposite the Ecole Militaire.Aligned with this esplanade, it blends seamlessly into the urban landscape. Thanks to its use of sustainable materials and the building’s structure, this project is fully aligned with the environmental standards required by Paris 2024.
Created to host the art, fashion and sports events usually organised in the Nave while the Grand Palais is being renovated, it will also be the stage for cultural events initiated by the Réunion des musées nationaux – Grand Palais.

The 2024 Summer Olympics (French: Jeux olympiques d'été de 2024), officially the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad (French: Jeux de la XXXIIIe Olympiade) and commonly known as Paris 2024, is a forthcoming international multi-sport event that is scheduled to take place from 26 July to 11 August 2024 with Paris as its main host city and 16 cities spread across metropolitan France and one in Tahiti—an island within the French overseas country and overseas collectivity of French Polynesia—as a subsite.
Paris was awarded the Games at the 131st IOC Session in Lima, Peru, on 13 September 2017. Due to multiple withdrawals that left only Paris and Los Angeles in contention, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) approved a process to concurrently award the 2024 and 2028 Summer Olympics to the two cities. Having previously hosted in 1900 and 1924, Paris will become the second city (after London) to host the Summer Olympics three times. Paris 2024 will mark the centenary of Paris 1924, be the sixth Olympic games hosted by France (three in summer and three in winter), and the first Olympic Games in France since the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville.
The Games will feature the debut of breaking (also known as breakdancing) as an Olympic event, and it will be the final Olympic Games held during the presidency of IOC President Thomas Bach.
The preparation for the Games has been marred by the ongoing controversy surrounding the potential participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes. The Paris Olympics are expected to cost €8.3 billion.

The Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Velodrome is an outstanding showcase, already built and operational 10 years before the Paris 2024 Games. This flagship of the French Cycling Federation, whose headquarters have been based at the Velodrome since it opened, was built in 2014. This high-level venue regularly hosts the various French teams in its ultramodern facilities. The Velodrome’s modular and flexible design, illustrated by its vast central area, enables it to regularly host training sessions and events for other sports.
Created specifically with a view to staging international competitions, the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Velodrome hosted the French Track Championships in 2014, the World Championships in 2015 and the European Championships in 2016, which will be followed by the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2024.

The Porte de La Chapelle Arena, an eco-design venue thought out for a legacy to benefit neighbouring communities well beyond the Games, will be a new cultural hub to the north of Paris, hosting a range of cultural and sporting events each day. This new facility is designed to be open to all, especially to people living nearby, and to offer a variety of sports activities in its complementary spaces. With its mid-size capacity of 8,000 seats after the Games, the Porte de La Chapelle Arena will further strengthen the choice of sport and live performance venues available throughout Paris. As soon as it opens in 2023, it will be home to Paris Basketball as its resident club.
The La Chapelle Arena’s design is distinctly eco-friendly. 80% of the building’s surface will be covered with greenery, blending gracefully into the parks and gardens that surround the site. The front will be clad with recyclable aluminium and most of the building materials will be bio-based (principally wood). The Arena’s design will also be universal: the main hall, the facilities around it and the terrace over the entire complex will be accessible to everyone.
Capacity :
For the badminton and para badminton events, the Arena will have space for 6,700 spectators.
For the rhythmic gymnastics and para powerlifting, the capacity will increase to 7,000 spectators.

Bercy Arena is an iconic venue for culture and sport in Paris and across France, recognisable with its pyramid design that stands out from the landscape of Paris’ 12th arrondissement. Built in 1984, this venue hosts not only high-level sports events, such as the Rolex Paris Masters, an international men’s tennis tournament from the ATP Tour, and the final rounds of the 2018 European women’s handball championship, but also concerts with leading French and international performers, from Madonna to Daft Punk, Johnny Hallyday and Paul McCartney.
Renovated between 2014 and 2015 to modernise its infrastructure, the Bercy Arena ticks all of the boxes today for hosting major competitions and cultural events. Bercy has nothing left to prove: since it was inaugurated, this multi-sports venue has already welcomed more than 30 million spectators at hundreds of events, from athletics to basketball, ice hockey and motocross.

La Dfense Arena - Para Swimming - PARA
Para swimming is one of the original Paralympic disciplines, featuring at the first Games in 1960 and is now one of the most popular Paralympic sports. Athletes with all kinds of physical and mental disabilities can swim, as practising is straightforward and the sport does not require any specific equipment (prostheses are not allowed).
Breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly, freestyle and the medley all feature on the programme at the Paralympic Games across various distances, apart from middle distance events (800m and 1500m).
All athletes compete according to their disability classification to ensure that the competition is as fair as possible.
Swimmers start with a dive or directly in the water if their disability prevents them from using a starting platform. Help is given to any swimmers who cannot hold the grip on their own.
Athletes with vision impairments are helped by an assistant, who tap the swimmer’s head with a tapping device as they approach the turn(s) or finish of the race.

The Grand Palais des Champs-Élysées (English: Great Palace of the Elysian Fields), commonly known as the Grand Palais (English: Great Palace), is a historic site, exhibition hall and museum complex located at the Champs-Élysées in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, France. Construction of the Grand Palais began in 1897 following the demolition of the Palais de l'Industrie (Palace of Industry) to prepare for the Universal Exposition of 1900. That exposition also produced the adjacent Petit Palais and Pont Alexandre III.
The building was designed to be a large-scale venue for official artistic events. A pediment on the building refers to this function with an inscription that reads, "a monument dedicated by the Republic to the glory of French art." Designed according to Beaux-Arts tastes, the building features ornate stone facades, glass vaults and period innovations that included iron and light steel framing and reinforced concrete.
It is listed as a historic monument (monument historique) by the Ministry of Culture.

Stade de France - Para athletics - PARA
Para athletics is synonymous with dizzyingly high figures. The Olympic Games may comprise two 100m finals (one for men and one for women), but the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games had a grand total of 30 (16 for men and 14 for women) due to the number of impairment classifications. Athletics is a sport open to all physical, vision and intellectual impairment classifications. There is no denying its success, as more and more athletes take part in the Paralympic Games each time.
Wheelchair athletics emerged in 1952, when athletes with spinal cord injuries took part in a javelin event as part of the Stoke Mandeville Games. Athletics was one of the first sports – out of a total of eight – to be added to the Paralympic programme at the Rome 1960 Games. It spans a wide range of track events (excluding obstacle races and walking events), jumping events (excluding the pole vault), throwing events (excluding the hammer throw) and, of course, the blue-ribbon road event: the marathon (since 1984).
Depending on their impairment classification, athletes can compete using a wheelchair (with three wheels), prostheses or a throwing seat. Depending on their level of impairment, vision impaired athletes can be accompanied by a guide-runner for races or guided by a coach for throwing and jumping events. However, not all impairment classifications are eligible to compete in all the events.

Eiffel Tower Stadium
For Parisians, the Champ de Mars is a place to meet up and celebrate, regularly attracting thousands of people to share in events together, from the traditional 14 July firework displays to a Football World Cup Final. On a daily basis, people meet up there to enjoy some sport, take in the views or simply walk around the vast alleyways and lawns of this magnificent site, which is now one of Paris’ most iconic public gardens. To stage the beach volleyball and blind football events, a temporary outdoor arena will be built in 2024, enabling everyone to enjoy this venue’s magical setting.
Between the Ecole Militaire’s impressive facade to the south and the equally impressive Eiffel Tower on the River Seine side, the Champ de Mars will once again be a community space for meeting up during the Paris 2024 Games. It will be a key venue for the Paris 2024 Games, because, alongside the Eiffel Tower Stadium’s overlay arena, it will host other events in the Grand Palais Overlay, a temporary structure set up on Place Joffre to the south of the site since 2021.

From the bid phase, Paris 2024 wants to enable urban sports to become established in their natural environment, away from stadiums, at the heart of the city. This idea is perfectly illustrated by the temporary transformation of Place de la Concorde into an open arena. This development also illustrates the major changes that Paris City Council will be putting in place to sustainably reorganise this site.
In 2014, the IOC launched the Olympic Agenda 2020, inviting the organising committees for the Games to temporarily add new sports to their programmes, as well as new events. Paris 2024 decided to add several modern and spectacular new sports to its concept, with breaking, surfing, skateboarding (street and park) and sport climbing. In line with this modern approach, some other disciplines for sports that were already included will also be part of the programme for Paris 2024, including 3×3 basketball, the number one urban sport in the world, and BMX freestyle, an acrobatic offshoot of BMX racing. BMX freestyle, breaking, skateboarding and 3×3 basketball will share Place de la Concorde, an iconic venue at the heart of Paris 2024, for the duration of the Games. This urban park will host four spectacular sports virtually non-stop from Saturday 27 July to Saturday 10 August.

Paris, France : View inside the Adidas Arena building with a Badminton competition.
The Porte de La Chapelle Arena, an eco-design venue thought out for a legacy to benefit neighbouring communities well beyond the Games, will be a new cultural hub to the north of Paris, hosting a range of cultural and sporting events each day. This new facility is designed to be open to all, especially to people living nearby, and to offer a variety of sports activities in its complementary spaces. With its mid-size capacity of 8,000 seats after the Games, the Porte de La Chapelle Arena will further strengthen the choice of sport and live performance venues available throughout Paris. As soon as it opens in 2023, it will be home to Paris Basketball as its resident club.
The La Chapelle Arena’s design is distinctly eco-friendly. 80% of the building’s surface will be covered with greenery, blending gracefully into the parks and gardens that surround the site. The front will be clad with recyclable aluminium and most of the building materials will be bio-based (principally wood). The Arena’s design will also be universal: the main hall, the facilities around it and the terrace over the entire complex will be accessible to everyone.
Capacity : For the badminton and para badminton events, the Arena will have space for 6,700 spectators.

The posters for the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024 were presented at the Musée d'Orsay on Monday 4 March. French illustrator Ugo Gattoni combined his own unique style with the recommendations of Paris 2024 in the creation of the artworks.
In the spirit of equality that has become a hallmark of the upcoming Games, Paris 2024 chose not to make a distinction between the Olympics and Paralympics in the design of the official posters. As with the torch and the mascots, the posters are linked together and united.
On Monday 4 March, a giant version of the posters went on display at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. They will remain there until 10 March for visitors from all over the world to see.
"It's a new, key moment in the Paris 2024 story," said Paris 2024 president Tony Estanguet at the event where the posters were revealed. "We've tried to be different and imagine posters that look like us, posters that go beyond a mere logo."
Paris 2024 hired Ugo Gattoni, a Parisian illustrator with a vibrant style, to create the posters. He worked in his studio from 19 September 2023 to 19 January 2024, spending a total of 2,000 hours creating the two posters that will become a lasting symbol of the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024.

Paris 2024: Para Equestrian.
Para dressage, known at the Paralympic Games as para equestrian, sees athletes classified into five grades, depending on their levels of mobility, strength and coordination. Grade 1 tests are ridden in walk, grade 2 and 3 include walk and trot, and grade 4 and 5 are comprised of walk, trot and canter.
To assist them during their tests, riders may use additional aids such as looped reins or callers, and nations can enlist 'friend' horses to stand just outside the arena to help the competing horse stay relaxed. There are five judges marking each test, spread at different points around the arena.
In Paris, the para equestrian competition will run through the second week of the Games period. A total of 78 athlete/horse combinations will take part, with 60 combinations from 15 nations contesting the team competition. There are 33 medals awarded for the team, individual and freestyle competitions across five grades.

He worked in his studio from 19 September 2023 to 19 January 2024, spending a total of 2,000 hours creating the two posters that will become a lasting symbol of the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024.

The official posters for the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024 were presented at the Musée d'Orsay on Monday 4 March. French illustrator Ugo Gattoni combined his own unique style with the recommendations of Paris 2024 in the creation of the artworks.
In the spirit of equality that has become a hallmark of the upcoming Games, Paris 2024 chose not to make a distinction between the Olympics and Paralympics in the design of the official posters. As with the torch and the mascots, the posters are linked together and united.
On Monday 4 March, a giant version of the posters went on display at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. They will remain there until 10 March for visitors from all over the world to see.

The 2024 Summer Olympics (French: Jeux olympiques d'été de 2024), officially the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad (French: Jeux de la XXXIIIe Olympiade) and commonly known as Paris 2024, is a forthcoming international multi-sport event that is scheduled to take place from 26 July to 11 August 2024 with Paris as its main host city and 16 cities spread across metropolitan France and one in Tahiti—an island within the French overseas country and overseas collectivity of French Polynesia—as a subsite.
Paris was awarded the Games at the 131st IOC Session in Lima, Peru, on 13 September 2017. Due to multiple withdrawals that left only Paris and Los Angeles in contention, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) approved a process to concurrently award the 2024 and 2028 Summer Olympics to the two cities. Having previously hosted in 1900 and 1924, Paris will become the second city (after London) to host the Summer Olympics three times. Paris 2024 will mark the centenary of Paris 1924, be the sixth Olympic games hosted by France (three in summer and three in winter), and the first Olympic Games in France since the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville.
The Games will feature the debut of breaking (also known as breakdancing) as an Olympic event, and it will be the final Olympic Games held during the presidency of IOC President Thomas Bach.
The preparation for the Games has been marred by the ongoing controversy surrounding the potential participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes. The Paris Olympics are expected to cost €8.3 billion.

White title Paris on finish line red racing track, symbolizing summer sport games.
Athletics at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris are scheduled to run on 1 to 11 August 2024, featuring a total of 48 medal events across three distinct sets: track and field, road running, and racewalking. Four venues are to be used: Pont d'Iéna for race walking, Hôtel de Ville and Les Invalides for the start and end points of the marathon races, and Stade de France for the track and field events.
The competition will feature an identical number of medal events for men and women, the first instance in Olympic history. The Marathon Race Walking Mixed Relay through a Marathon course will contest for the first time at these Games, replacing the men's 50 kilometres race walk in the quest for gender equality.
Another significant change to the athletics program is the repechage-round format in all individual track events from 200 to 1500 m and the hurdles events (110 m for men, 100 m for women, and 400 m for both), a vast opportunity for the runners to have a second chance of entering the semifinal phase. This format will replace the former system of athletes advancing through the fastest overall times (q) apart from those qualifying directly in the first-round heats (Q).

The football tournament at the 2024 Summer Olympics will be held from 24 July to 10 August 2024 in France. The draw took place in Paris on 20 March 2024.
In addition to the Olympic host city of Paris, matches will also be played in Bordeaux, Décines-Charpieu (near Lyon), Marseille, Nantes, Nice and Saint-Étienne.
Two events are scheduled to be contested: men's and women's tournaments. Associations affiliated with FIFA may send teams to participate in the tournament. Men's teams are restricted to under-23 players (born on or after 1 January 2001) with a maximum of three overage players allowed, while there are no age restrictions on women's teams.
Canada are the women's defending champions, while Brazil were the two-time men's defending champions but failed to qualify.

The Stade de France is the national stadium of France, located just north of Paris in the commune of Saint-Denis. Its seating capacity of 80,698 makes it the largest stadium in France. The stadium is used by the French national football and rugby union teams for international competitions. It is the largest in Europe for track and field events, seating 78,338 in that configuration. During other events, the stadium's running track is mostly hidden under the football pitch.
Originally built for the 1998 FIFA World Cup, the stadium's name was recommended by Michel Platini, head of the organising committee. On 12 July 1998, France beat Brazil 3–0 in the 1998 FIFA World Cup Final contested at the stadium. It will host the athletics events at the 2024 Summer Olympics. After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the 2022 UEFA Champions League Final was moved from the Gazprom Arena to the Stade de France.

Arena Paris Nord
The Villepinte exhibition center will be transformed, during the Games, into a huge modular sports arena, called the Arena Paris Nord. A gigantic space with nine exhibition halls, it is the largest exhibition center in France, ahead of the Porte de Versailles exhibition center which will also host Games events. Able to accommodate a large audience, the Arena Paris Nord is the perfect place to welcome thousands of spectators to Villepinte, in the heart of Seine-Saint-Denis to come and experience several events of the Olympic Games and then the Paralympic Games of Paris 2024.
The Arena Paris Nord is located in the Villepinte exhibition center, in Seine-Saint-Denis. During the Olympic Games, this site will host the preliminary phases of the boxing events and the modern pentathlon fencing ranking event, during the Paralympic Games, the sitting volleyball events will take place there.
LEGACY
At the end of the Games, the infrastructures of the Paris Nord Arena will be dismantled. The Villepinte Exhibition Center will continue to host trade shows, intended for the general public and professionals throughout the year, within the nine halls that make up this complex.

ALEXANDRE III BRIDGE
The Pont Alexandre III is a link between the two banks of the Seine, in the heart of Paris and in the middle of the monuments which dot the center of the capital. Associated since its creation with major events organized in Paris, the Pont Alexandre III was inaugurated on the occasion of the Universal Exhibition of 1900 and is a true work of art, a monument in itself.
With a width of 45m and 107m in length, the bridge is framed by four spectacular pylons topped with gilded bronze statues, a sumptuous setting for several events of the Paris 2024 Games.
Connecting two other Paris 2024 sports venues, the Grand Palais and the Invalides, the Pont Alexandre III illustrates the ambition of Paris 2024 to bring the Games to life in the heart of the most beautiful city in the world and its most emblematic monuments. Making the link between the Invalides and the Grand Palais, but also located a stone's throw from the Concorde or the Arena Champ-de-Mars, the Pont d'Iéna and the Eiffel Tower stadium, the Pont Alexandre III and the surrounding area will live to the rhythm of the Games. It will host the arrival of the individual time trial in road cycling, marathon swimming, triathlon and para triathlon in a majestic setting.
LEGACY
For the Paris 2024 Games, stands will be temporarily installed near the Pont Alexandre III, and will then be dismantled after the Games. The bridge will remain one of the most emblematic monuments of Paris.

Chateau de Versailles
The Château de Versailles, an iconic symbol recognised worldwide, illustrating France’s global reputation, will welcome the Olympic Games in a magnificent setting with a rich history. Initially built as a simple hunting lodge, the Château de Versailles was home to the court of Louis XIV in 1682 and became the epicentre of French royalty. From 1883, with its magnificent gardens, it became a national museum, open to the public, and it was the first French site to be awarded UNESCO World Heritage status, in 1979.
Thanks to overlay facilities, certain Paris 2024 events will be staged in a truly exceptional and historical setting. A temporary outdoor arena, flanked by several stands, will be set up on the Etoile Royale esplanade, to the west of the Grand Canal, at the heart of the Palace’s gardens. This arena will stage two eventing disciplines (dressage test and jumping), as well as the jumping and dressage competitions (Olympic and Paralympic). The individual and team eventing cross-country section will be held alongside the Grand Canal, while the five modern pentathlon events will also be organised at the Château de Versailles.
Capacity: 15,000 or 40,000 spectators, depending on the event.

Paris 2024 Olympics.
South Paris Arena is part of the Paris Expo, an exhibition and convention centre that is one of the most active in Europe and most visited in France. Across 35 hectares, 228,000 sqm of exhibition halls and eight pavilions, the Paris Expo welcomes 7.5 million visitors each year, particularly during the International Agricultural Show. With Halls 1, 4 and 6 hosting a large number of the Games' events (with others set aside for Games logistics), Paris Expo will be a major hub for the Paris 2024 Games.
Built in 1923 to host the Paris Trade Fair (Foire de Paris), the complex has been developed extensively over the years and can now adapt to a wide range of requirements and configurations. An ambitious renovation programme, based on three phases over 10 years with the last one to be completed in 2023, is currently underway to modernise its infrastructure.
Legacy
South Paris Arena, as well as every other hall at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, will continue to host shows, fairs and conventions throughout the year.

Bercy Arena is an iconic venue for culture and sport in Paris and across France, easily identifiable by its pyramid design that stands out from the landscape of Paris’ 12th district. Built in 1984, this venue hosts not only high-level sports events such as the Rolex Paris Masters (an international men’s tennis tournament from the ATP Tour) and the final rounds of the 2018 European women’s handball championship, but also concerts featuring leading French and international performers including Madonna, Daft Punk, Johnny Hallyday and Paul McCartney.
Renovated between 2014 and 2015 to modernize its infrastructure, Bercy Arena now ticks all of the necessary boxes for hosting major competitions and cultural events. Since its construction, this multi-sports venue has already welcomed more than 30 million spectators at hundreds of events, ranging from athletics to basketball, ice hockey and motocross.
The Accor Arena, renamed Arena Bercy for the duration of the Paris 2024 Games, is an Olympic and Paralympique venue. It will host the basketball, artistic gymnastics and trampoline events during the Olympics and the wheelchair basketball during the Paralympics.
Legacy
As was the case before the Games, Bercy Arena will continue to host Paris’ major cultural and sports events, with its multifunctional design making it an iconic venue for culture in France.

Place de la Concorde
From the early stages of bidding for the Games, Paris 2024 wanted to enable urban sports to become established in their natural environment, away from stadiums, at the heart of the city. This idea is perfectly illustrated by the temporary transformation of La Concorde into an open arena. This development also illustrates the major changes that Paris City Council will put in place to sustainably reorganise this site.
In 2014, the IOC launched the Olympic Agenda 2020, inviting the organising committees for the Games to temporarily add additional sports to their programmes, as well as new events. Paris 2024 decided to add several modern and spectacular sports to its concept with breaking, surfing, skateboarding (street and park) and sport climbing. In line with this modern approach, some other disciplines for sports that were already included will also be part of the programme for Paris 2024, including 3X3 basketball (the number one urban sport in the world) and BMX freestyle, an acrobatic offshoot of BMX racing. BMX freestyle, breaking, skateboarding and 3X3 basketball will share La Concorde, an iconic venue at the heart of Paris 2024, for the duration of the Games. This urban park will host four spectacular sports virtually non-stop from Saturday 27 July to Saturday 10 August.
Legacy
La Concorde’s facilities will be temporary, grouping together and sharing the resources for four sports at one venue. The venue’s set-up and supply operations will also be facilitated by this shared approach. The venue will be accessible by public transport thanks to the Paris Region’s dense public transport network, and, as for each Olympic venue, particular care will be taken with the last mile, which is especially important for people with impaired mobility.

Marathon Swimming at the 2024 Summer Olympics.
Two-day marathon swimming (8 to 9 August) staged at Pont Alexandre III through the Seine River.
Marathon swimming is a class of open water swimming defined by long distances, at least 10 kilometers (6.21 mi). Unlike marathon foot-races which have a specifically defined distance, marathon swims vary in distance. However, one commonly used minimum definition is 10 kilometers (6.21 miles), the distance of the marathon swimming event at the Olympic Games.

Paris 2024 and river companies: an unprededented collaboration for the historic Olympic Games Opening Ceremony on the Seine.
After unveiling the unique concept of the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony, which will take place for the first time outside of a stadium in the city of Paris along the Seine, Paris 2024 has announced a major collaboration with river companies which will provide their Parisian and regional boats for athletes of Olympic delegations from the five continents to parade on. As of today, 116 Parisian and regional boats have been identified to sail on the Seine on July 26, 2024. This exceptional collective commitment will ensure an extraordinary Opening Ceremony and will showcase the Seine and its ecosystem.
42 river companies and 116 boats already identified
42 river companies have agreed to commit to Paris 2024 and contribute to the world's largest sports event: Aabysse Location, Action Public/Péniche de Paris/Navy and Company, Bateaux de Paris et d'Ile-de-France, Bateaux Mouches, Bateaux Parisiens, Batobus, Batorama, Bleu Seine, Boreas Cruise, Canauxrama, Cap Seine – Quai 55, Class’ Réception, Compagnie de la Seine/Vedettes de la Seine, Compagnie des Bateaux à Roue, Croisieurope, Diamant Bleu, Fleuve Concept/Ports de Seine/Fleuve Transactions, Henjo, Joce, Le Bateau Français, Le Bateau Paris 12, Mistral en Seine, Nouvelles Rives, One Expérience, Paris Boat Club, Paris Canal, Paris Seine, Petrus, River’s King, Sarl FFM, Seine Alliance, Seine Avenue, Seine Evénement, Seine Privée, Seinessor, Sextant/Paris yacht 1, Sous les Jupons de la Seine, Un Bateau à Paris, Vedettes de Paris Ile-de-France, Vedettes du Pont-Neuf, Weboat, and Yachts de Paris.
Batorama joins Paris 2024 to celebrate the opening of the Olympic Games
While 98% of the boats that will take part in the Opening Ceremony come from the Paris ecosystem, Paris 2024 is also committed to regional support such as from Batorama which is the leading French tour boat company outside Paris.
Located in Strasbourg, Batorama transports nearly 800,000 visitors a year to discover the must-see sites of the Alsatian capital such as the emblematic Petite France area or the European institutions.
With its experience, Batorama took part with four of its boats to join this collective project which promises to be a great show!
"Beyond a nautical and athletic story, this is a story of shared passion. What an honour for Batorama to join the fleet of the first Opening Ceremony of the Summer Olympic Games outside of a stadium. It is for us the promise of an unforgettable moment in such a symbolic setting that brings us all together: the river", comments Isabelle BURGET - General Manager of Batorama.
On 26 July 2024, the boat owners will contribute to the magic of the ceremony
The concept, which was unveiled in December 2021, is new and ambitious. The boats will meander along 6 kilometres on the Seine between the Austerlitz and the Iéna bridges. Throughout the route, the athletes will be immersed in the emblematic scenery of the capital with the river and the historical monuments in the background, which will amaze the audience.
The Seine and boats are indissociable in the eyes of the world. It is undoubtedly the most spectacular way to cross the city and discover the rich history of the capital, which the athletes will continue to write on 26 July 2024. The boats too will write the shared history with the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games and will provide their river experience since 98% of them use this route daily, which eight million people discover every year.
As Paris 2024 has chosen to move away from the stadium for this live show, an Opening Ceremony will never have welcomed as many spectators.
"On 26 July 2024, more than a billion viewers will be turned to Paris and the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games. Without the boat owners, this ambitious project of a ceremony on the Seine would not have been possible. We are very happy and grateful to be able to count on them to make the organisation of this unprecedented, exciting and we hope, the greatest ceremony in the history of the Games possible," said Tony Estanguet, President of the Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games of Paris 2024.
Didier Léandri, President of Entreprises Fluviales de France: "The Opening Ceremony is an opportunity for the riverine industry to put its values of commitment, excellence and environmental sobriety at the disposal of Olympism".
Olivier Jamey, President of the Paris Port Community: "The Olympic Games Opening Ceremony offers the opportunity for river companies to join together as an impressive team to bring the first and most original Olympic medal to France”.

The cycling mountain bike competition of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris is scheduled to run at Élancourt Hill for mountain biking.
Rising to an altitude of 231 meters, Elancourt Hill is the highest point in the Paris region. Its summit offers a breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower, La Défense and the forests surrounding Paris. No major infrastructure will be created on site, in the interest of having the least effect on the biodiversity of the site. The future routes for the Olympic mountain bike events, designed by South African expert Nick Floros, are 95% based on existing paths. Better still, the different itineraries proposed as a legacy will offer a range of routes accessible to a diverse audience, from young people to experienced athletes, including families.
The artificial hill of Elancourt occupies the site of old sandstone quarries which supplied materials to entrepreneurs. After the quarries closed in the mid-19th century, the site became a landfill until its total closure in 1975. An ambitious rehabilitation program followed in the 1980s, to transform the hill into a leisure park open to the public .
The choice of Elancourt by Paris 2024 makes it possible to strengthen and supervise an already existing sporting activity, while improving the ecological benefit of the site. The project presents a triple sporting, societal and environmental heritage. The territory of Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines will become a reference territory for cycling, allowing people far from sporting activities to have access to a structuring heritage, while allowing an improvement and enhancement of biodiversity of the territory.
Legacy
The Games will strengthen the “leisure” dimension of Élancourt Hill. Accessible to all, it will become a privileged terrain for mountain bike enthusiasts, whatever their level of practice, and fans of walking and running. The hill will also become a place for family walks, in a secure and decontaminated environment, and regenerated nature.
Furthermore, the site will be used for the organization of national and international mountain bike competitions.

Bordeaux Stadium was built to host the men’s 2016 European Football Championship. Positioned between the Floral gardens and Bois de Bordeaux forest, the venue was completd in 2015 and instantly became the footballing showcase for the world’s wine capital. Designed by architects Herzog & De Meuron (who also designed Beijing’s Olympic Stadium), Bordeaux Stadium stands out for its spectacular design and spectator experience.
Bordeaux Stadium was built in line with sustainable and environmentally responsible standards. For example, its roof is covered with 700sqm of solar panels, and the stadium is equipped to recycle rainwater for its irrigation. Lastly, its unique style, illustrated by the hundreds of white beams supporting the structure, makes it easily recognisable.
Since it was built, the stadium has been home to the Girondins de Bordeaux, one of France’s leading football teams, and has also staged a Football League Cup final and the semi-finals of the Top 14 rugby tournament on two occasions, as well as a number of concerts including Guns N’ Roses and Muse.

Paris 2024 rewarded for its visual identity
On Tuesday, November 22, 2023, Paris 2024 received two awards during the Grand Prix Stratégies du sport et de l'E-sport, in the Design category.
The ceremony organized by Stratégies rewarded the best communication and brand content in the field of sport and E-sport. On this occasion and among the 97 applications competing in around ten categories, Paris 2024 saw two of its brand identity projects rewarded with a GOLD prize, both in the DESIGN category: “More than a pictogram, a coat of arms " ; and “Victory in the face”.
Present to receive the prizes for Paris 2024, Camille Yvinec (Delegated Director of Brand Identity) and Joachim Roncin (Design Director) were accompanied by Gilles Déléris, Jean-Jacques Charrais and Chloé Thomas, members of the W&Cie agency who collaborated with Paris 2024 to imagine the brand identities.
Paris 2024 pictograms rewarded
A first GOLD prize rewarded the 70 pictograms used by Paris 2024 to represent each of the sports and certain disciplines on the program of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Paris 2024 has reinvented the principle of the pictogram. Now more than simple signage elements, the Paris 2024 pictograms are coats of arms, real rallying signs for fans of each sport which will adorn the competition sites and appear wherever the Games will be experienced, to orient spectators and galvanize crowds.
The visual identity of the award-winning French team
A second GOLD prize was awarded to the visual identity of the French team; an identity illustrating the creation of a unique French team, bringing together Olympic and Paralympic athletes under a single jersey.
The “Victory in the face” campaign illustrates the common ambitions for victory of the athletes of the French team, united under the same colors. This will is embodied mainly by a common and powerful symbol; the figure of the rooster, represented from the front and designed for athletes and their supporters. This visual identity reflects the spirit of conquest and the determination that characterizes the French team, determined to shine at these Games at home.

Aquatics centre
The Aquatics Centre, along with Le Bourget Climbing Wall, is the only permanent sports facility to be built for the Paris 2024 Games. In 2024, it will welcome the world’s greatest athletes for the artistic swimming, water polo and diving events. Looking beyond the Games, the Aquatics Centre has been designed to address the needs of Seine-Saint-Denis (its host region, and the French swimming community, which will now have a facility that can host the biggest national and international competitions.
The Aquatics Centre will connect to the neighbouring Stade de France over a footbridge spanning the A1 motorway, and is a meaningful public investment for Seine Saint Denis, which is seriously lacking in sports facilities. The Aquatics Centre’s novel configuration will be modular: it will be able to switch from a 5,000-seat venue during the Games to a 2,500-seat facility to host neighbourhood events afterwards.
The Aquatics Centre will be low-carbon and all the building materials will be bio-based. Its timber structure and roof frame are designed to blend seamlessly into the surrounding greenery. With a 5,000 sqm roof covered with photovoltaic panels, it will be one of France’s largest urban solar farms and supply all the energy that the centre needs.
The interior fittings will be made of recycled materials and made in France to showcase the country’s expertise in environmental performance.
Legacy
From swimming lessons to recreational use and high-level competitions, the Aquatics Centre will be multifunctional. From July 2025, the Aquatics Centre will become a vast multi-sports facility open to all, including two pools (50m and 25m), a fitness area, bouldering area, paddle tennis section and pitches for team sports. It will also have an adjustable floor to serve a variety of purposes (swimming lessons for babies and children, etc.). The Aquatics Centre will also be the state-of-the-art facility that the French swimming community has been looking forward to for decades. The French Swimming Federation will be able to host national and international competitions in its four indoor disciplines. The Centre will also provide a best-in-class federal training facility for leading French athletes and will notably be home to the country’s diving centre.

Geoffroy Guichard Stadium
Saint-Etienne Stadium is one of France’s most iconic stadiums, and has been the stage for some of the greatest moments in the history of French football with AS Saint-Etienne, the legendary club. Since it was built in 1931, the “Chaudron” Stadium has been renovated several times to welcome the major sports competitions organised in France in the 20th century. In 2024, it will be welcoming the Olympic Games!
In addition to the matches of the football club AS Saint-Etienne, Geoffroy-Guichard Stadium hosted various matches from the Euro 1984 Football Championship and the 1998 Football World Cup, as well as the 2007 Rugby World Cup. The latest renovation, making the stadium a mythical yet modern and functional venue, was carried out for Euro 2016, increasing the stadium’s capacity and modernising its access arrangements, enabling the “Chaudron” to continue to stage major competitions on its pitch. In its history, Saint-Etienne Stadium has also hosted several major concerts, including Bruce Springsteen in 1985 and Johnny Hallyday in 2003.

The Stade de France is the national stadium of France, located just north of Paris in the commune of Saint-Denis. Its seating capacity of 80,698 makes it the largest stadium in France. The stadium is used by the French national football and rugby union teams for international competitions. It is the largest in Europe for track and field events, seating 78,338 in that configuration. During other events, the stadium's running track is mostly hidden under the football pitch.
Originally built for the 1998 FIFA World Cup, the stadium's name was recommended by Michel Platini, head of the organising committee. On 12 July 1998, France beat Brazil 3–0 in the 1998 FIFA World Cup Final contested at the stadium. It will host the athletics events at the 2024 Summer Olympics. After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the 2022 UEFA Champions League Final was moved from the Gazprom Arena to the Stade de France.
Athletics at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris are scheduled to run on 1 to 11 August 2024, featuring a total of 48 medal events across three distinct sets: track and field, road running, and racewalking. Four venues are to be used: Pont d'Iéna for race walking, Hôtel de Ville and Les Invalides for the start and end points of the marathon races, and Stade de France for the track and field events.

Stade de France
For the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Stade de France, the country’s largest stadium, will transform into the Olympic Stadium after three decades of hosting France’s biggest sports events. Built in Saint-Denis, the Stade de France was designed by architects Macary, Zublena, Regembal and Costantini. It was created for the 1998 Football World Cup held in France.
Since the World Cup, this multi-sports arena has continued to host the biggest sporting events organised in France, from the World Athletics Championships in 2003 to the 2007 and 2023 Rugby World Cups and the Euro 2016 Football Championship. Each year, it stages the matches of the French national football and rugby teams, as well as some of the biggest concerts by French and international artists.
The Stade de France, located in the Plaine Saint-Denis district of Saint-Denis in the northern suburbs of Paris, is the largest stadium in France, and was inaugurated on 28 January 1998 by Jacques Chirac.
Built to host the sixteenth edition of the Football World Cup in the summer of 1998, its 80,000-seater arena is a major venue for football (Euro 2016), rugby (2007 and 2023 World Cups) and athletics (2003 World Championships).
It is easy to reach by public transport: RER D and B, metro lines 12 and 13, tram 1 and 8 and several bus lines.
Because it was designed as a multipurpose stadium, the Stade de France will be the setting for many athletics and Rugby Sevens competitions of the Paris 2024 Games.
Legacy
After the Games, the Stade de France will resume its duties of hosting the country’s biggest sporting and cultural events. It will continue to be the home of the French national football and rugby teams, and regularly host the major national finals for these two sports.

The Aquatics Centre is the only permanent sports facility to be built for the Paris 2024 Games, under the authority of the Metropole du Grand Paris. In 2024, it will welcome the world’s greatest athletes for the artistic swimming, water polo and diving events. Looking beyond the Games, the Aquatics Centre has been designed to address the needs of Seine-Saint-Denis, its host region, and the French swimming community, which will now have a facility that can host the biggest national and international competitions.
It will connect to the neighbouring Stade de France over a footbridge spanning the A1 motorway, and is a meaningful public investment for Seine Saint Denis, which is seriously lacking in sports facilities today. The Aquatics Centre’s novel configuration will be modular: it will be able to switch from a 5,000-seat venue during the Games to a 2,500-seat facility to host neighbourhood events afterwards.
The Aquatics Centre will be low-carbon and all the building materials will be bio-based. Its timber structure and roof frame are thought out to blend seamlessly into the surrounding greenery. With a 5,000 sqm roof covered with photovoltaic panels, it will be one of France’s largest urban solar farms and supply all the energy that the Centre needs.
The interior fittings will be made of recycled materials – and made in France to showcase the country’s expertise in environmental performance.

The Olympic and Paralympic village.
Located some 7 km north of the centre of Paris, overlapping the communes of Saint-Denis, Ile Saint-Denis and Saint-Ouen and less than 5 minutes away from the Stade de France, the village will be the epicentre of the Paris 2024 design. Comprised within a radius of 500 m, the compactness of the village makes it functional and ideal for athletes. It includes three main areas: the Olympic Village Plazza, an international zone open onto the Seine river, a residential area around the Cité du Cinéma, and an operational area connected to the road networks (A86 and A1). The village will be served by the future hub of the Greater Paris underground (2 RER and 5 underground lines).
This exceptional 51-hectare site will help athletes perform. Aside from those training at their competition venues, 100% of the athletes will train within 20 minutes from the Village, and 60% of those will train within the Village itself. 85% of athletes will be accommodated less than 30 minutes away from their competition venue.
A welcoming and comfortable place to mix cultures and share experiences.
Centred around the film studio of the Cité du Cinéma, the village includes many recreational areas along the banks of the Seine river. Seven hectares of stretches of water will provide athletes with a serene and relaxing environment before and after competitions.
They will benefit from common services in iconic heritage buildings: The nave of the Cité du Cinéma will house the dining hall, while the Maxwell Hall will house a fitness centre, a café, the information and service centres, etc.
Athletes will also be able to meet in many green areas, including shared gardens on the roofs of the buildings and between the building blocks.

The 2024 Summer Paralympics (French: Jeux paralympiques d'été de 2024), also known as the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, and commonly known as Paris 2024, is an upcoming international multi-sport parasports event governed by the International Paralympic Committee, to be held in Paris, France, from 28 August to 8 September 2024. These games mark the first time Paris will host the Paralympics in its history and the second time that France will host the Paralympic Games, as Tignes and Albertville jointly hosted the 1992 Winter Paralympics. Paris was awarded the 2024 Summer Paralympic Games on September 13, 2017, during their annual session in Lima, Peru.

Stade de France.
For the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Stade de France, the country’s largest stadium, will transform into the Olympic Stadium after three decades of hosting France’s biggest sports events. Built in Saint-Denis, the Stade de France was designed by architects Macary, Zublena, Regembal and Costantini. It was created for the 1998 Football World Cup held in France.
Since the World Cup, this multi-sports arena has continued to host the biggest sporting events organised in France, from the World Athletics Championships in 2003 to the 2007 and 2023 Rugby World Cups and the Euro 2016 Football Championship. Each year, it stages the matches of the French national football and rugby teams, as well as some of the biggest concerts by French and international artists.
The Stade de France, located in the Plaine Saint-Denis district of Saint-Denis in the northern suburbs of Paris, is the largest stadium in France, and was inaugurated on 28 January 1998 by Jacques Chirac.
Built to host the sixteenth edition of the Football World Cup in the summer of 1998, its 80,000-seater arena is a major venue for football (Euro 2016), rugby (2007 and 2023 World Cups) and athletics (2003 World Championships).
It is easy to reach by public transport: RER D and B, metro lines 12 and 13, tram 1 and 8 and several bus lines.
Because it was designed as a multipurpose stadium, the Stade de France will be the setting for many athletics and Rugby Sevens competitions of the Paris 2024 Games.
Legacy
After the Games, the Stade de France will resume its duties of hosting the country’s biggest sporting and cultural events. It will continue to be the home of the French national football and rugby teams, and regularly host the major national finals for these two sports.

Eiffel Tower Stadium.
For Parisians, the Champ de Mars is a place to meet up and celebrate, regularly attracting thousands of people to share in events together, from the traditional 14 July firework displays to a Football World Cup Final. On a daily basis, people meet up there to enjoy some sport, take in the views or simply walk around the vast alleyways and lawns of this magnificent site, which is now one of Paris’ most iconic public gardens. To stage the beach volleyball and blind football events, a temporary outdoor arena will be built in 2024, enabling everyone to enjoy this venue’s magical setting.
Between the Ecole Militaire’s impressive facade to the south and the equally impressive Eiffel Tower on the River Seine side, the Champ de Mars will once again be a community space for meeting up during the Paris 2024 Games. It will be a key venue for the Paris 2024 Games, because, alongside the Eiffel Tower Stadium’s overlay arena, it will host other events in the Grand Palais Overlay, a temporary structure set up on Place Joffre to the south of the site since 2021.

Aerial view of Le Bourget Sport Climbing Venue.
The Bourget Sport Climbing Venue is built especially for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. It will host the climbing events (combined bouldering and speed). It will be located in the new Sports Park of Le Bourget and will last only the time of the event.
The Wall should be installed a few days before the Olympic events. A grandstand of 6,000 people will be installed to accommodate spectators. The training of the athletes will take place in the new gymnasium designed near the Wall.
Information on the opening schedule and the address of the site will be communicated soon.
"The temporary climbing walls could be reused once the events are over, in sites to be determined, for the benefit of local populations, clubs and associations."
The inclusion of sport climbing in the Olympic Games illustrates the fresh approach that Paris 2024 would like to add to its Games. Showcasing a modern sport, practiced in an area with a young population, to promote participation in it as widely as possible. Looking well beyond the Paris 2024 Games, this facility represents a response to a need and an expectation in the Seine-Saint-Denis area.
Five climbing walls will be used during the Games: an indoor wall, for warming up, and four outdoor walls, with three for competition events (speed, bouldering and lead combined) and the last one set aside for competitors to warm up.
The indoor facilities will provide a lasting legacy for the Games, in a department that has a major shortage of sports facilities (ranked 103rd out of 105 departments).

The Chateauroux Shooting Centre will welcome the 340 Olympic athletes and the 160 Paralympic athletes competing in shooting events during the Paris 2024 Games. Inaugurated by the French Shooting Federation in 2018, this unique venue is one of the largest of its kind in Europe. Equipped with several shooting ranges and therefore capable of hosting all shooting events at the Games, the centre gained a new “finals” building in 2022, which means it can now accommodate international pistol and rifle finals. This building will host all indoor shooting finals during the Paris 2024 Games.
In July 2022, the Paris 2024 Board of Directors approved plans to make the Chateauroux Shooting Centre a competition venue for the Paris 2024 Games. The centre will be used for 15 Olympic shooting events and 13 Paralympic shooting events in 2024.

The Chateauroux Shooting Centre will continue to be used for international shooting events after the Games.

Paris 2024 Olympics.
South Paris Arena is part of the Paris Expo, an exhibition and convention centre that is one of the most active in Europe and most visited in France. Across 35 hectares, 228,000 sqm of exhibition halls and eight pavilions, the Paris Expo welcomes 7.5 million visitors each year, particularly during the International Agricultural Show. With Halls 1, 4 and 6 hosting a large number of the Games' events (with others set aside for Games logistics), Paris Expo will be a major hub for the Paris 2024 Games.
Built in 1923 to host the Paris Trade Fair (Foire de Paris), the complex has been developed extensively over the years and can now adapt to a wide range of requirements and configurations. An ambitious renovation programme, based on three phases over 10 years with the last one to be completed in 2023, is currently underway to modernise its infrastructure.

Rendering of Champions Park in Paris, which will feature live broadcasts of action and parades featuring the previous day’s medal-winners.
A first
For the first time in the history of the Summer Olympics, all the medalists will be invited to commune with thousands of fans, in the heart of the city, in an open-air arena.
The Paris 2024 Athletes' Commission has been supporting this project since its outline.
“Market Park is a completely new concept at the Summer Olympics, designed to make the experience of athletes unforgettable,” said Martin Fourcade, Chairman of the Paris 2024 Athletes’ Commission.
The concepts of sharing and opening, with the celebration of athletes of all nationalities and disciplines, were the watchwords of the Athletes’ Commission. ”
Communion and celebrations
The medalists of the day before will be invited to come to the public. The venue will also offer live broadcast of the major sporting moments of the day. All of this will help make Champions Park a festive experience for both athletes and the public.
Champions Park will be accessible to all free from 29 July to 10 August (except 2 and 4 August).
The medallist parade will be held every day from 5.30 p.m. to 7.30 p.m. in front of more than 15,000 sports fans.
From 7.30 p.m. to 11.30 p.m., Champions Park will broadcast live the evening grand finals.

Le Bourget Sport Climbing Venue.
Competition climbing at the 2024 Summer Olympics is scheduled to run from 5 to 10 August at Le Bourget Sport Climbing Venue in Saint-Denis, returning to the program for the second time since the sport's official debut three years earlier in Tokyo 2020. The total number of medal events will double from two in the previous edition, separating the boulder-and-lead tandem from the speed format. Furthermore, Paris 2024 will witness a significant rise in the number of sport climbers competing contrary to Tokyo 2020, expanding the roster size from 40 to 68.
The entry of sport climbing into the Olympic Games, on the program for the second time after Tokyo 2020, reflects what Paris 2024 wishes to create in a more dynamic way for its Games. Highlighting a modern sport, practiced in an area where the population is young, in order to give impetus to its practice by as many people as possible. With the renovation of the Bourget sports complex which accompanies the temporary development of the venue into a competition site for the Games, Seine-Saint-Denis will have, after the Games, equipment that meets its needs and expectations in terms of sports infrastructure.
Six climbing walls will be used during the Games: three walls dedicated to training and warm-up (2 indoors and 1 outdoor) and three walls dedicated to competition, located outdoors.
The gymnasium and its indoor facilities will constitute a lasting legacy of the Games, in a department that is currently largely lacking in terms of sports infrastructure (103rd department out of 105).
Legacy
The indoor facilities erected for the Games will be bequeathed to the town of Le Bourget and can be used on a daily basis by residents, local associations and clubs. The climbing walls temporarily installed could, like the temporary swimming pools of the Games or the urban sports structures of the Place de Concorde, be reused, once the events are completed, in sites to be determined, for the benefit of local populations, clubs and associations.

The Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Velodrome is an outstanding showcase, already built and operational 10 years before the Paris 2024 Games. This flagship of the French Cycling Federation, whose headquarters have been based at the Velodrome since it opened, was built in 2014. This high-level venue regularly hosts the various French teams in its ultramodern facilities. The Velodrome’s modular and flexible design, illustrated by its vast central area, enables it to regularly host training sessions and events for other sports.
Created specifically with a view to staging international competitions, the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Velodrome hosted the French Track Championships in 2014, the World Championships in 2015 and the European Championships in 2016, which will be followed by the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2024.

The Porte de La Chapelle Arena, an eco-design venue thought out for a legacy to benefit neighbouring communities well beyond the Games, will be a new cultural hub to the north of Paris, hosting a range of cultural and sporting events each day. This new facility is designed to be open to all, especially to people living nearby, and to offer a variety of sports activities in its complementary spaces. With its mid-size capacity of 8,000 seats after the Games, the Porte de La Chapelle Arena will further strengthen the choice of sport and live performance venues available throughout Paris. As soon as it opens in 2023, it will be home to Paris Basketball as its resident club.
The La Chapelle Arena’s design is distinctly eco-friendly. 80% of the building’s surface will be covered with greenery, blending gracefully into the parks and gardens that surround the site. The front will be clad with recyclable aluminium and most of the building materials will be bio-based (principally wood). The Arena’s design will also be universal: the main hall, the facilities around it and the terrace over the entire complex will be accessible to everyone.

For the badminton and para badminton events, the Arena will have space for 6,700 spectators.
For the rhythmic gymnastics and para powerlifting, the capacity will increase to 7,000 spectators.

Eiffel Tower Stadium
For Parisians, the Champ de Mars is a place to meet up and celebrate, regularly attracting thousands of people to share in events together, from the traditional 14 July firework displays to a Football World Cup Final. On a daily basis, people meet up there to enjoy some sport, take in the views or simply walk around the vast alleyways and lawns of this magnificent site, which is now one of Paris’ most iconic public gardens. To stage the beach volleyball and blind football events, a temporary outdoor arena will be built in 2024, enabling everyone to enjoy this venue’s magical setting.
Between the Ecole Militaire’s impressive facade to the south and the equally impressive Eiffel Tower on the River Seine side, the Champ de Mars will once again be a community space for meeting up during the Paris 2024 Games. It will be a key venue for the Paris 2024 Games, because, alongside the Eiffel Tower Stadium’s overlay arena, it will host other events in the Grand Palais Overlay, a temporary structure set up on Place Joffre to the south of the site since 2021.

The 2024 Summer Olympics (French: Jeux olympiques d'été de 2024), officially the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad (French: Jeux de la XXXIIIe Olympiade) and commonly known as Paris 2024, is a forthcoming international multi-sport event that is scheduled to take place from 26 July to 11 August 2024 with Paris as its main host city and 16 cities spread across metropolitan France and one in Tahiti—an island within the French overseas country and overseas collectivity of French Polynesia—as a subsite.
Paris was awarded the Games at the 131st IOC Session in Lima, Peru, on 13 September 2017. Due to multiple withdrawals that left only Paris and Los Angeles in contention, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) approved a process to concurrently award the 2024 and 2028 Summer Olympics to the two cities. Having previously hosted in 1900 and 1924, Paris will become the second city (after London) to host the Summer Olympics three times. Paris 2024 will mark the centenary of Paris 1924, be the sixth Olympic games hosted by France (three in summer and three in winter), and the first Olympic Games in France since the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville.
The Games will feature the debut of breaking (also known as breakdancing) as an Olympic event, and it will be the final Olympic Games held during the presidency of IOC President Thomas Bach.
The preparation for the Games has been marred by the ongoing controversy surrounding the potential participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes. The Paris Olympics are expected to cost €8.3 billion.

Bordeaux Stadium was built to host the men’s 2016 European Football Championship. Positioned between the Floral gardens and Bois de Bordeaux forest, the venue was completd in 2015 and instantly became the footballing showcase for the world’s wine capital. Designed by architects Herzog & De Meuron (who also designed Beijing’s Olympic Stadium), Bordeaux Stadium stands out for its spectacular design and spectator experience.
Bordeaux Stadium was built in line with sustainable and environmentally responsible standards. For example, its roof is covered with 700sqm of solar panels, and the stadium is equipped to recycle rainwater for its irrigation. Lastly, its unique style, illustrated by the hundreds of white beams supporting the structure, makes it easily recognisable.
Since it was built, the stadium has been home to the Girondins de Bordeaux, one of France’s leading football teams, and has also staged a Football League Cup final and the semi-finals of the Top 14 rugby tournament on two occasions, as well as a number of concerts including Guns N’ Roses and Muse.
Legacy
After staging Paris 2024, Bordeaux Stadium will continue to be the home of the Girondins de Bordeaux and host high-level sports events and concerts.

The Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Velodrome’s permanent infrastructures include enough space to be able to bring two Games venues together at one site, to the great delight of cycling fans. This close connection also makes it possible to pool certain facilities required for organising the BMX and track cycling events.
Built at the same time as the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Velodrome, the BMX track will be redesigned and specially laid out for Paris 2024. It stands out by being fully covered, and is open to the public and all skill levels, which makes it a very valuable facility for not only the Paris Region, but also the whole country. Stands will be temporarily set up for the Games in order to welcome all of the spectators.

In 2024, for the first time, the Paris La Défense Arena, located in Nanterre, is transforming into an Olympic swimming pool. Paris La Défense Arena is a truly exceptional facility in terms of its scale, its capacity and its technology: 13km of stands, 5,500-tonne framework, 28,632 sq.m of courts and pitches… While this venue has already welcomed more than 2 million spectators since it opened, with performances from leading international artists, conventions and seminars, as well as the rugby matches of Racing 92, its resident club, in 2024 it will host swimming events for the very first time. How? Thanks to a modular, multipurpose structure.
With its iconic modern design by the architect Christian de Portzamparc, the Arena opened its doors in 2017. Located in the city of Nanterre, it has the world’s largest interactive giant screen, with an innovative technology and 1,400 sqm of display area, equivalent to seven tennis courts.
With the 600 dynamic giant aluminium and glass scales that make up the building’s exterior facade, the Arena seems to come to life for the various events that it stages. In 2024, it will be flying the colours of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games!

Saint-Denis, France - July 18, 2024: Distant view of Stade de France, the largest French stadium and an Olympic venue, decorated for the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics.
The Stade de France is the national stadium of France, located just north of Paris in the commune of Saint-Denis. Its seating capacity of 80,698 makes it the largest stadium in France. The stadium is used by the French national football and rugby union teams for international competitions. It is the largest in Europe for track and field events, seating 78,338 in that configuration. During other events, the stadium's running track is mostly hidden under the football pitch.
Originally built for the 1998 FIFA World Cup, the stadium's name was recommended by Michel Platini, head of the organising committee. On 12 July 1998, France beat Brazil 3–0 in the 1998 FIFA World Cup Final contested at the stadium. It will host the athletics events at the 2024 Summer Olympics. After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the 2022 UEFA Champions League Final was moved from the Gazprom Arena to the Stade de France.
Athletics at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris are scheduled to run on 1 to 11 August 2024, featuring a total of 48 medal events across three distinct sets: track and field, road running, and racewalking. Four venues are to be used: Pont d'Iéna for race walking, Hôtel de Ville and Les Invalides for the start and end points of the marathon races, and Stade de France for the track and field events.

The Stade de Lyon is a recent and ultra-modern venue that belongs to Olympique Lyonnais, the boarder of the Ligue 1 football champion, seven times champion of France. It was built to host some Euro 2016 matches, and was inaugurated in early 2016 at Décines, near Lyon. The capital of the Gauls now benefits from a brand new multi-purpose infrastructure, the third largest in terms of capacity, able to host international events throughout the year, an additional asset to welcome viewers of the OJ in 2024.
The stadium was designed by the architectural firm Populous. It was built with the ambition to limit its impact on the environment, since for example 100% of its energy is renewable, in particular thanks to solar panels located on the roof of the stadium. The lawn benefits from state-of-the-art technology, and various spaces are provided for athletes, the media and even several restaurants thanks to the 8,000 m2 of spaces available. In addition to the football matches of Olympique Lyonnais in the Champions League and on the French football scene, the stadium has hosted many high-level matches such as a Euro 2016 semi-final, or the Europa League final in 2018, as well as concerts by international stars such as Rihanna or Ed Sheeran.
Heritage
After the Games, the Stade de Lyon will always be able to host high-level sporting matches with Olympique Lyonnais home matches, as well as regularly cultural events such as concerts.

Wheelchair rugby at the 2024 Summer Paralympics in Paris, France will take place between 29 August to 2 September 2024.
Wheelchair rugby is a mixed-team sport played by male and female athletes with some degree of paralysis in all four limbs. An alternative to wheelchair basketball, it allows players with this kind of disability to participate on equal terms. The sport is played in specially designed manual wheelchairs by a team of four players and combines elements of rugby, basketball, and handball. That’s why wheelchair rugby is played with a round ball, not an oval one!
First developed in Canada in the 1970s, wheelchair rugby made its debut as a medal sport at the Sydney 2000 Paralympic Games. Wheelchair rugby is often referred to as “Murderball” because it is such an aggressive sport, in which noisy contact, frequently punctured tyres and even wheelchairs flipping over form an integral part of the game.
