Paris is preparing for the upcoming 2024 Olympic Games, with various venues already completed. The city promises a lively atmosphere during the games, but tickets are expected to be expensive.
People work on the Olympic and Paralympic construction site at the Grand Palais ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in Paris , France, on March 14. Paris ’s sweeping Aquatics Centre, newly built for Olympic diving, synchro and water polo, is already complete. The pristine white buildings of Marseille’s Olympic Marina shrugged off the last construction dust in February.
Whether or not you nab a seat, the city promises to be uncharacteristically jolly between the opening ceremony on July 26 and Sept. 8, when the Paralympic Games bid adieu. Brits will remember the vibe in 2012, when Londoners were warned to get out of town for the duration, leaving the holdouts to enjoy the calmer-than-expected festivities. If the same happens in Paris, you should even get a warm welcome at the cafés of the Marais and the swish Sixième, miles from the venues.
Any hotel rooms that remain will likely cost more than double their usual rate, but new home-sharing opportunities are coming ontoevery day. In fact, the glut of apartments in Paris and partner regions such as Lille and Bordeaux is a good sign locals are planning to flee, clearing the streets of traffic and the air of classic French disdain.Canada's Philip Kim competes in the b-boys gold medal finals for breaking at the Pan Am Games in Santiago, Chile, on Nov. 4, 2023.
