Everything you need to know about mobility and accessibility in Paris during the 2024 Olympic & Paralympic Games
Ah, the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games! These upcoming events will certainly leave their mark on the minds and the hearts of millions of people, in Paris and beyond. But even in the very middle of this emotion-packed period, company life goes on, and with it, the need to bring your teams together. At Comet, we know that despite the excitement of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, your corporate events cannot always wait. That is why we are here to help you navigate the logistical challenges these great games could present. With our flexible and well-equipped spaces, we are committed to making sure your meetings and events take place in the best conditions.
The Olympic and Paralympic Games are a particularly interesting period for companies, offering unique opportunities for development and networking in a dynamic and globalised context. However, for those of us who live, work or are planning to visit the Île-de-France region during this period, the Games will have a considerable impact on our daily travel.
But no need to panic, we have put together a little recap of the information to know about mobility during the Games, because at Comet we like to give a little helping hand.
Mobility flows
To help you get organised and anticipate the mobility flows during the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the government has set up the site https://anticiperlesjeux.gouv.fr/. On this site you will find articles on the security perimeters, the key stages and the news of the 2024 Games.
The site also offers an interactive map of the impact of the Games on public transport (metros, trams, RER and Transilien trains), on the stations served by these different modes of transport, as well as on the roads.
The security perimeters
Around each of the Olympic venues, security perimeters will be put in place. Here is a recap of the differences between each perimeter.
- Grey perimeter: competition venue. Only athletes, spectators holding a ticket, and professionals accredited by Paris 2024 will be allowed to access this zone. No motorised vehicle is accepted in this zone except those holding Paris 2024 accreditation.
- Black perimeter: protection perimeter. Only spectators holding a ticket, accredited people and certain local residents will be able to access this zone. Access to this perimeter is regulated by security checks, including pat-downs and searches of bags and luggage.
- Red perimeter: perimeter where motorised traffic is prohibited. Cyclists and pedestrians will be able to move around freely. To enter with a motorised vehicle, you will need a pass, which has to be requested on the police prefecture's platform (launching in May).
- Blue perimeter: perimeter where motorised traffic is diverted. Cyclists and pedestrians will be able to move around freely. To enter with a motorised vehicle, you will need any supporting document (an employer's certificate or a proof of address, for example).
For more information on the security perimeters and the zones concerned, have a look at this article or at the police prefecture's page.
