Who else is getting excited about the Olympics in Paris this summer? 🏅 🏊♂️ ⚽ 🤸♂️ 🇫🇷 The Olympic Village being constructed for the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics is an ambitious and state-of-the-art project designed to house athletes, coaches, and officials from around the world. This village is intended to be a vibrant and sustainable community that reflects the values of the Olympic movement. The design includes a mix of residential buildings, green spaces, recreational facilities, and essential services to ensure a comfortable and convenient living environment for its temporary residents. The architecture incorporates environmentally friendly materials and energy-efficient systems to align with Paris's commitment to sustainability and reducing its carbon footprint. The Olympic Village is strategically located in the Seine-Saint-Denis department, which is in the northeastern suburbs of Paris. Specifically, it is being built in the areas of Saint-Denis, Saint-Ouen, and Île-Saint-Denis. This location provides easy access to many of the key Olympic venues, including the Stade de France, which will host the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as various athletic events. The choice of this location not only ensures logistical convenience but also aims to promote urban regeneration in a historically underserved area, leaving a positive legacy for the local community long after the games have concluded. In addition to its primary function during the Olympics, the village is designed with a long-term vision in mind. Post-games, the residential buildings will be repurposed into a mix of housing options, including affordable housing, student accommodations, and office spaces. This transformation is part of a broader urban development plan to enhance the living conditions and economic opportunities in the Seine-Saint-Denis area. Thus, the Olympic Village is more than just a temporary lodging for athletes; it is a catalyst for lasting positive change in Paris.

As the countdown to the XXXIII Olympic Games in Paris ticks away, the city is making preparations that will completely shift its urban landscape and infrastructure. Set to be the largest event ever organized in France, the games will start on 26 July and continue till 11 August 2024. With only 200 days left, the Paris City Council has approved around 43 new initiatives acting as a catalyst for the city's transformation – aiming for a greener, healthier, and mobile Paris. From cleaning the Seine River to building a cycling lane, activating a transit line, and banning non-essential city traffic, the heart of the French capital is on a mission against time to revitalize its historic urban core. Integral to Paris’s ambitious vision is its “Swimming Plan,” which aims to transform the Seine into a venue for aquatic Olympic events the city aims to implement new underground pipes, tanks, and pumps that are designed to clean up the river from harmful bacteria. Although the river has not been open for public swimming for over a century, the city plans to change that for the notorious games. In fact, “The goal is to have what is essentially a giant rainwater holding tank, measuring 50m wide and 34m deep, capable of storing up to 46m liters ready by spring.” However, according to experts, the billion-dollar effort to clean up the river may take much longer than planned to execute.

The article is interesting because it highlights that the changes that the Paris City Council wants to promote are on the right track (according to our current paradigm) and that the Olympics have given it the excuse to promote them politically. But it precisely fails to answer the question it asks, because it focuses on the City Hall of Paris under whose jurisdiction only the center of the metropolis is... They do not talk about the large facilities on the periphery (stade de France, Olympic village, suburban Grand Paris Express...). These must be addressed from the regional scale (Ile de France region). My opinion is that it is being done well because it reuses a lot that already exists and the objective is to reinforce policies that were already planned (transport, regional integration, inequality in banlieus, etc.) compared to the classic logic of the Olympic Games of creating external facilities. process. It will be necessary to see after the fact if they manage to activate the peripheral equipment and if the economic management has been right. https://t.co/Nnvrq3i3fU

Are you thinking of going to Paris this Summer? Anyone who lives in Paris can tell you that summer is one of the best times in the French Capital.  As the days become longer Parisians return to strolling the streets and the city vibrates with energy. However, this summer will be very different, as the city is expecting 11 million visitors during the Olympic Games from July 24th to August 11th, and the Paralympic Games from August 28th to September 8th. So unless you like to be in crowded places and you have already booked hotels and tickets to attend this year's events and ceremonies, I would advise you not to come to the City of Light, as I believe you will not experience what it really has to offer. Paris's exquisite architecture won't be as easy to capture with millions of additional tourists roaming the streets, trying to get around from one point to another. Some most recognizable landmarks will not be open to the public as they are under renovation and defaced by scaffolding: Notre-Dame, following the devastating fire back in April 2019. There will be a short-term price increase during the Olympics and visitors will pay more for hotels, meals out, entry to tourist attractions and public transport. For example, a single ride on the Metro will rise from €2,10 to €4, and you are likely to board jam packed trains, since the metro can barely accommodate Parisians. I hope all of these compelling reasons will make you think twice before booking a trip to Paris during the 2024 Olympics. #Olympicgames #Paris2024 #CityofLight #Tourism #Sports #France

The Olympic and Paralympic Games will heavily impact transportation from July 1 to September 15, inevitably affecting those seeking to move during this time. Security perimeters have been set in place with reserved lanes for accredited individuals, some of which exclude moving companies. The different security zones are listed below: SILT Zone: Restricted to athletes, officials, and ticket holders. No moving services. Red Zone: Access for essential moves only with a police pass. Permits required. Blue Zone: Open to all vehicles. Registration and QR code needed. Due to the Olympics, moving times in Paris may need to be extended, adding extra days and more manpower, or occur in multiple stages. Some moves may need to start earlier to avoid congestion. As always, Expat Relocation Systems will work with customers to minimize delays and offer storage solutions if needed.

As the law specifies, free water is intended for “consumers”, meaning customers who have ordered something else on site. They can therefore demand a free glass of water to accompany their coffee or a carafe during a meal. https://lnkd.in/emXnZK8u #paris

The 2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games offer an opportunity to deliver lasting urban transformation, says Jerome Frost OBE, incoming Arup Group Chair and former Head of Design and Regeneration for the London 2012 Olympic Delivery Authority. Jerome spoke to Jenny Wiggins at The Australian Financial Review about the importance of prioritising long-term legacy outcomes when planning and designing Games infrastructure. By focusing on areas that deliver long-term community benefits like mobility, social infrastructure and decarbonisation, the Games can be a catalyst for wider economic, societal and environmental change. He also discussed the current trend of repurposing venues, which can help deliver value for money and revive surrounding neighbourhoods. “You get better bang for a buck if you’re able to upgrade existing venues and give them a prolonged new life…as opposed to always building new,” Jerome said.
