Athletes from around the world will soon gather at the Olympic Village, which will host 14,000 people during the Paris 2024 Games.
The village, spanning an area equivalent to 70 football pitches, will feature a large dining hall with diverse food stations, an extensive gym, training grounds for multiple sports, a polyclinic, prayer rooms, and an anti-doping center.
Electric vehicles will transport athletes across the site, from relaxing areas along the Seine River to the transport hub on the other side of the village. After the Olympic Games, the buildings will be refurbished and remodeled to create around 3,000 new flats, including social housing.
Traffic Control
France will implement traffic control measures starting a week before the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony on July 26th, restricting access to certain areas for vehicles and pedestrians without a Games Pass.
The Pass Jeux, a digital QR code issued by the police, will grant access to security perimeters around the Olympic venues, including para-cycling events in Seine-Saint-Denis. According to the French Tourism Development Agency (Atout France), these restrictions will be implemented in two phases.
The first phase will last from July 18th until 1:00 PM on July 26th, covering areas around the Seine River and sports venues. Children under 13, ticketed spectators, staff, and athletes are exempt from pass restrictions.
The second phase, from the end of the opening ceremony until the end of the Paralympics on September 8th will involve four restricted perimeters around competition sites.
The tourism agency notes that obtaining a Games Pass is straightforward but requires an advanced application. Applicants can apply for free on the official website with a valid ID or travel document. Passes are non-transferable and valid only for the applicant. Those who apply before the opening ceremony do not need to reapply for the second phase.
