It was in December 2020 that the sites selected to host the Paris 2024 sports events were definitively validated. On the one hand, these are already existing infrastructures, and on the other hand, new enclosures built especially for the occasion. The opening ceremony, a highlight of the Games, will not take place at the Stade de France as is customary but on the Seine. The closing ceremony will take place at the Stade de France.
Here is the list of sites that will host the Olympic and Paralympic events during the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
