“Since day one, the Paris 2024 project has been all about openness,” read a statement at paris2024.org. “In 2024, a number of Parisian monuments will be transformed into magnificent competition venues, welcoming people from all over the world to an open-air sports arena for these spectacular Games.”
In fact, Paris 2024 will be making history by holding the first-ever opening ceremony in a city centre, allowing access to basically everyone. There will be 600,000 spectators at the Paris Games.
“Paris 2024 is about showing the world the best France has to offer, its creativity and its avant-garde spirit,” added paris2024.org. “It’s about doing more to share the emotions of the Games with more people. It’s about delivering Games that are more responsible, more inclusive, more equal and more spectacular than ever before.”
