It was 100 years ago! 100 years since our country hosted
this great celebration that is the Olympic and Paralympic
Games! Remembering this date helps us take stock of
the historic moment that awaits us next summer. We
have the opportunity to show the millions of tourists
who travel here a France like they have never seen
before. For several years now, all tourism professionals– restaurateurs, hoteliers and traders – have been
preparing to host these Games with one objective: tomake it a great moment of celebration for everyone.
Significant transformations have been undertaken:
I’m thinking in particular of accessibility, which will
be a strong marker of these Games, with barrier-freeaccess to all Olympic sites for people with disabilities.
At the heart of the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic
Games, sporting values such as perseverance andteam spirit remind us that we can all be inspired bypushing ourselves further and the quest for excellence.
Finally, if the Olympic and Paralympic Games touchus, it’s because they go well beyond sport. They are a
showcase of our know-how and a unique opportunity
to honour our country, its history, heritage and culture.
For these 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, let us
proudly open our doors to the world with the promiseof an unforgettable experience!

OF THE GAMESWith its exceptional cultural and architectural heritage, Paris will
provide the setting for an extraordinary spectacle that will reveal to
the world all the beauty that France and its history have to offer.
It will more than ever provide an opportunity to stay in the capital andattend sports competitions, discovering Paris in all the excitement of
this unique event.

OPENING CEREMONYBEYOND STADIUMS
Never in the history of the Olympic Games has an opening ceremony been so
aptly named. Open to the world, open to the Seine, open to everyone. On 26
July 2024, the largest Olympic ceremony will take place over 6 kilometres of theSeine, allowing several hundred thousand spectators to take part, with largely
free access.
The opening ceremony for the Paralympic Games will take place on 28 August2024 from the bottom of the Champs-Élysées to Place de la Concorde. 184
delegations and 65 000 spectators are expected.
These two major celebrations outside the stadiums, both lavish and designed
for the people, will put the city of Paris and its iconic monuments in the spotlightin a festive, progressive, unifying way.

WHEN SPORTAND HERITAGE COMPETE
It’s because of this desire to bring sport where you wouldn’t expect it that thevarious sporting events will have as their backdrop the greatest cultural andsporting sites in Paris and France, such as the Palace of Versailles, Eiffel Tower,
Place de la Concorde, as well as the National Velodrome of Saint-Quentin-enYvelines, the waves of Teahupo’o, the hill at Elancourt, or the marina in Marseille.
The performance of the athletes will be further enhanced by their environment,
offering unique images, unexpectedly combining sport and French heritage.

While the Games for the world are a true celebration
giving a flavour of the effort put in by the athletes,
and a taste of the spectacle for the spectators, they
will also be an ode to the taste of France and its
regions. Thirteen million meals will be served, in which
all regions will be represented thanks to products
selected via short delivery circuits, offering a culinary
experience that varies according to the Olympic sites.
By making six major commitments and sixty subcommitments, the Paris 2024 Games have chosen
to meet the challenges of quality, but also ofenvironmental impact. As such, plant-based foodwill occupy an important place, with 60% vegetarianofferings for spectators, i.e. double the previous
Games.
The food will be 100% certified, with 80%
of products of French origin, 25% lessthan 250 km from the various sites
and 30% organic products.
The Games are also committed
to halving the use of single-use
plastics and recovering all uneaten

Much more than just a simple sport, breaking is a true
form of expression, at the crossroads of art, dance andmusic. Originating in the American hip-hop culture of
the 90s before becoming popular around the world,
breaking takes place in the form of battles, where dancers
compete to show their acrobatic creativity and mastery of
movement to the rhythm of the music.
Breaking will be on show for the first time at the Paris 2024
Olympic Games, Place de la Concorde.

Embodying youth, modernity and diversity,
sport climbing can be practised in the naturalenvironment, in urban areas or indoors. One of
the first major events of the discipline was heldin 1986 in Vaulx-en-Velin, near Lyon. The sportthen saw a dazzling rise in France, and for goodreason, as there’s no lack of natural sites: among
the most spectacular places, the cliff of Buoux,
the sites of Annot and the Gorges du Verdon,
the Ceüse cliff, Pen-Hir, Fontainebleau and theCalanques of Marseille are worth mentioning. The
sport climbing competitions will be held at the Le
Bourget climbing site, in Île-de-France.

Widely popular throughout the world andespecially among young people, surfing combines
aerial acrobatics and graceful gliding to impress
and excite the admiring crowds.
The Atlantic coast of France is full of legendary
spots such as Hossegor, Biarritz, Lacanau and
La Torche. However, the village of Teahupo’o inFrench Polynesia has been chosen to host thesurfing events of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

IS THE NAME
OF THE GAMEThe Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic
Games will be marked by a desire toincrease accessibility to the city and its
infrastructure, both by offering unhindered
access to all Olympic sites for people withdisabilities and by developing soft mobility.
Many measures have been taken to makesure the Paris 2024 Games represent thearrival of inclusion and accessibility for all.

PARIS AND ITS REGION
Greener transportation and softer mobility
The bicycle will take pride of place during the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic
Games. Indeed, bicycle tourism is one of the new dynamic sectors of the French tourist
market, in particular in the Paris Region. While Parisians today enjoy an interlocking
network of cycling facilities of more than 1000 km, by 2024, 100% of competition sites
in the Ile-de-France region will be accessible by bike: 60 km of “Olympistes”, 10 000
parking places for bicycles, and 3000 additional Vélib’s will be provided.
The objective: to achieve 20% of trips made by bicycle during the event.
Across France, cycle routes will also connect major cities and the various Olympic
sites, such as the Scandibérique (EuroVélo 3), the longest cycle route in France, whichconnects Paris to Bordeaux. Among the other greenways in France, there’s Seine à
Vélo, which connects Paris to the sea via Normandy, and the Véloscénie, to conquer
the West and finish in style at the foot of Mont Saint-Michel, one of the most beautiful
sites in France.

13 | ATOUT FRANCE

Developing priority routes
for disabled transport
The Paris 2024 Games are a tremendous driver
for accelerating accessibility to the Paris. So
Paris has supported the creation by Paris & Co of
the HUA (Handi’Up Access) incubator, dedicatedto technical and social innovation to help people
with disabilities and their caregivers.
People with disabilities will be welcomed underthe best possible conditions, thanks to 185 kmof “Olympic lanes” reserved, among others, formotability vehicles. Dedicated public transport
will also be reserved for people with reduced
mobility, and more specifically for wheelchairusers. Ile-de-France Mobilités has also announced
that a fleet of 150 shuttles that can accommodate
up to 4 wheelchair users and their companions
will provide mobility from the 8 Paris stations andthe Rosa-Parks RER station (Paris 19).

More ecological meansof tourist transport
Tourist transport is taking the same approach andgoing green! Aware of the importance of acting
now, Paris tourism stakeholders are committed toproviding visitors with more ecological options.
Whether it’s for a pleasure trip or dinner on the
Seine in sustainable mode, with Vedettes deParis, Vedettes du Pont Neuf, Yachts de Paris orGreen River Cruise, or on the Canal de l’Ourq with
Marin d’eau douce, a tour of the city in a Tootbus
running on 100% clean energy, in a Turtle biketaxi or electric scooter, electric mobility takes
centre stage. Indeed, Paris tourist operators arefull of innovations to make their services more inline with current environmental issues.

PRESS KIT | Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic GamesBORDEAUX
Soft mobility in Bordeaux,in slow tourism mode
Ranked 12th worldwide and 2nd in France for urban cycling,
Bordeaux is also one of the top 10 bike-friendly cities, thanks

PARIS
Entering the “Seine”
for some open-water swimming
The triathlon, para-triathlon and open water swimming
events will take place in the Seine, between the Eiffel Tower
and Les Invalides. A key step in the long process of making
bathing possible once again in the waterways of Île-deFrance.
A major legacy of the 2024 Games open-water swimming
will allow residents to reclaim their waterways, give thema taste for learning to swim and make cities more resilient
to summers that will be increasingly hot. The State andstakeholders in the Ile-de-France are thus working together
to improve water quality with a view to opening, after the
Games, 23 bathing sites in 16 municipalities of the Greater
Paris Metropolis, including 5 in the capital.

Far beyond the world famous sporting event
they represent, the Paris 2024 Olympic andParalympic Games also carry an ambitious
vision: to allow significant concrete benefits
for all Ile-de-France and French people as awhole. The projects planned as part of theseGames, whether they relate to mobility, urban
development or the environment, will have alasting impact: indeed, they will be repurposed
and left as a legacy after the event closes,
benefiting both locals and international visitors.

SAINT-DENIS
ÎLE-DE-FRANCEGrand Paris Express : Towards better
accessibility to tourist sites
Run by the Société du Grand Paris, Grand Paris
Express is the largest infrastructure project in Europe.

The Saint-Denis Olympic Aquatic Centre, which will host thewater polo, diving and artistic swimming events, is designed
primarily using biosourced materials, fitted out internally withrecycled, reused products and equipped with a roof covered

French diving centre of the French Swimming Federation.

Revitalising La Chapelle

During February 2024, at Porte de la Chapelle, the Adidas
Arena will open its doors to the general public. It’s one of
the important construction projects carried out as part of theParis Games which will help transform the region and leave
its legacy for the inhabitants. This space will host 4 Olympic
events: badminton and rhythmic gymnastics for the Olympic
Games, then para-badminton and para-weightlifting during
the Paralympic Games.
The Adidas Arena will then be redeveloped into a hall forconcerts, sporting and cultural events and exhibitions, andwill offer other living and activity spaces for local residents.
ADDED EXTRA : the esplanade in front of the Adidas Arena

La Défense etc.).
Today, the heart of Greater
Paris beats to the rhythmof this art, which appeared in
France in the early 80s. Even
the 5-star Molitor hotel pays
homage to its underground pastby involving artists in the cabinsof its winter swimming pool.

in museums (such as the Palais deTokyo), art galleries (Galleria Continua – Les Moulins),
as well as in the street (The Tour aux Figures byJean Dubuffet in Issy-les-Moulineaux) and at major

100 years on – a nod to the 1924 GamesThe origin of the Olympic motto

The Yves-du-Manoir departmental stadium in Colombes(92) is the only site in France to host the Olympic Games
for a second time, for its field hockey competitions. It was
designed by the architect Louis Faure-Dujarric and was
the major venue for the VIII Olympiad in 1924, notably
hosting the opening ceremony and athletics events.

The Olympic motto Citius, altius, fortius (faster, higher,
stronger) was born in Arcueil in 1891. It was pronounced
by Dominican father Henri Didon, director of the Albert
Legrand college at the closing of the first inter-school
athletics championships, in the presence of his friend
Pierre de Coubertin. Impressed by these words, thelatter then went on to make them the Olympic motto.
