From 26 July to 11 August,

Paris will be hosting the Olympic Games in some exceptional and symbolic venues. Paris will be inhabited by these Games and will transform itself to welcome this global event. On 26 July 2024, the Opening Ceremony will officially launch the Paris 2024 Games. For the first time in Olympic history, it will take place outside a stadium. The spectacle will take place on the Seine, over a distance of 6 km, from the Pont d’Austerlitz to the Pont d’léna.
An event of this magnitude requires security arrangements to be put in place and will have
an impact on traffic in the areas around the temporary Olympic venues.
However, visitors to Paris during this period will be able to take advantage of the tourist
activities that will be in operation, with certain restrictions depending on the day.

To help you to make the most of your stay, here is some useful information for a visit between 18 and 26 July 2024
