Emmanuel Macron inaugurates the Olympic Village

Emmanuel Macron has an architectural project that has been explained to him and especially its sustainable implementation: the Olympic Village, after the Games, will transform into a real neighborhood.

The President of the Republic greets the Minister of Sports Amelie Aude-Castera, Anne Hidalgo, Valerie Pacres and the elected officials present as well as Tony Estanguet.

Emmanuel Macron will arrive at the Olympic Village in a few minutes. The head of state will first stroll along the banks of the Seine before meeting with site workers and project managers. He will then attend the handover of the keys to Solido at Kojo. There will be no “ribbon cutting”.

We take you to explore the village

In less than five months, the Paris 2024 Olympic Games will open. As the deadline approaches, the unveiling of the Olympic Village is on time. This Thursday, the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, will inaugurate the site, located in Seine-Saint-Denis, with plans to visit and discuss the site with workers and colleagues gathered at the construction site.

The village will welcome 206 athletes from the Olympic delegation this summer and then 184 from the Paralympic delegation. From 2025, the site is planned to be redeveloped to provide housing for 6,000 people.

Accessible to people with reduced mobility, the current residences include 3,000 apartments equipped with one to four bedrooms each capable of accommodating between two and eight athletes in “Olympic Village” mode. The complex will also host training venues for seven Olympic and Paralympic disciplines (weightlifting, modern pentathlon, fencing, wheelchair basketball, sitting volleyball, etc.).
