The countdown has begun: France will welcome the 2024 Summer Olympic Games from July 26 until August 11 with the Paralympic Games following from August 28 to September 8. Paris and the Île-de-France region form the cradle of the action where the spectacle will kick off at 8:24 p.m. sharp (or, 20:24 – touché).

The XXXIII Olympiad is slated to be the boldest and most revolutionary yet. Plans are afoot to take the opening ceremony beyond the arena where giant screens and free viewing platforms will widen its reach. The Games will infiltrate the icons of Paris in addition to the stadia circling the capital.

Where will the Olympic Games take place in Paris?

The XXXIII Olympic and Paralympic Games will be held in Paris and the wider Île-de-France as well as cities nationwide. On the northern periphery of Paris, Seine-Saint-Denis is the home of the Olympic Village. Athletics and rugby will be held in Stade de France while a brand-new aquatic center is underway.

Emblematic sights of Paris will play a starring role in the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The triathlon will depart from the Eiffel Tower Stadium where Champ de Mars will also host beach volleyball. Various cycling and open-water events will intersect the Trocadéro and the River Seine. Hôtel de Ville marks the start of the marathon, the Grand Palais will host fencing and taekwondo, and Esplanade des Invalides is the home of archery. Place de la Concorde is where Olympic breaking will make its debut on the program alongside other urban sports.

To the west, the Stade Roland-Garros, Stade Jean-Bouin, Parc des Princes, and Paris La Défense Arena will host soccer, tennis, boxing, basketball, and rugby. Over on the east – close to Disneyland Paris – Vaires-sur-Marne will be the hub of canoeing and rowing. A variety of Olympic and Paralympic Games including weightlifting, table tennis, and boccia will take place at Paris Expo in the south.

All Olympic and Paralympic venues are easily reachable via the Paris Metro.

How to get to the Olympic Village from Paris

The Olympic Village is located in the north Paris suburb of Seine-Saint-Denis. As the flagship stadium, Stade de France is down to be the epicenter of track and field events. Metro Line D serves Stade de France Saint-Denis and Line B serves La Plaine Stade de France. Journey time is five minutes from Gare du Nord although lines will be busier during the Games.

Where will the Paris 2024 Olympics be held in France?

Château de Versailles will host the 2024 Summer Olympics equestrian events while nearby Élancourt and Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines will form a cycling hub. Metro Line C connects Paris and Versailles Chantiers. The journey time takes 30 minutes from Champ de Mars Eiffel Tower but you will need to allow extra travel time during the Paris Olympics.

Nice, Bordeaux, Lyon, and Lille will host football matches, Marseille is handling sailing, and surfing is designated for Tahiti in French Polynesia. With the exception of Lille, each of these mainland cities is served by its own international airport. It’s straightforward to travel to any French city from Paris via train although the ban on short-haul flights in France will increase demand for tickets. As with booking where to stay for the Paris Olympics, advance planning is key.

Besides the train station at Charles de Gaulle International Airport, these are the six major railway terminals in Paris.

  • Gare du Nord (10th arrondissement) for trains to Lille and Northern France.
  • Gare de Lyon (12th arrondissement) for trains to Lyon, Nice, Marseille, and Southeast France.
  • Gare de l’Est (10th arrondissement) for trains to Eastern France.
  • Gare Montparnasse (14th/15th arrondissements) for trains to Bordeaux, Western, and Southwestern France.
  • Gare d’Austerlitz (13th arrondissement) for trains to Central France.
  • Gare St. Lazare (8th arrondissement) for trains to Normandy and elsewhere in Île-de-France.
