Getting around during the Olympic & Paralympic Games Paris 2024

The Paris region will welcome millions of visitors during the Olympic Games Paris 2024 (from July 26 to August 11) and the Paralympic Games Paris 2024 (from August 28 to September 8). Competitions will be hosted at iconic sites in the heart of the city and beyond.

As a consequence, Paris Police will impose security perimeters around event venues. These will make getting around Paris tougher than usual. Please review the information below to better plan for your stay.

Note: Please make sure to check official sources listed below to confirm that the information provided hasn’t recently changed.

Security perimeters

• Several security perimeters will be created to regulate traffic around venues. Be aware that these perimeters may change every day.
• Check out the official government transportation website to understand if your listing address or Experience will be impacted by a security perimeter at any particular time.

Impact on transportation

Transportation during the Olympic & Paralympic Games will be challenging, so please refer to the official government transportation website and the "List of people authorized to circulate around competition sites" to plan your itineraries.

• I plan to walk, bike around: Pedestrians and cyclists are allowed to circulate without any restrictions in security perimeters except during the Opening Ceremony. Please refer to our section below to understand how Opening Ceremony security measures will impact access to your listing.
• I plan to move around by public transport: The Transport Ministry has developed an interactive map to help you plan your itineraries in public transport during the Games.
• I plan to move around by car: You will be impacted by restrictions if you are driving in zones designated as a “red” or “blue” zone. Red zones are most restrictive, with only authorized vehicles being able to access these zones. You can request an exemption to access red zones for your vehicle on the Police Prefecture website.
• I plan to take a taxi / Uber to my listing: The same restrictions that apply to cars also apply to Ubers and taxis. If you are traveling in a red zone by taxi or Uber, you can request access to red zones in advance on the Police Prefecture website.
