It is an invitation to the world to come and experience new emotion by Paris 2024.
World will be able to live a unique Opening Ceremony on the Seine, the Mass

iconic Olympic event like the athletes.

_au Grand Palais pour l’escrime, l’escrime fauteuil, le taekwondo et le Para taekwondo
_au Château de Versailles pour l’équitation et la Para équitation

The largest Paralympic Games in history in terms of the number of events (549), the number of tickets on sale (almost 3.4 million), the media coverage in the host country (300 hours of broadcasting by France Télévision,
the official French broadcaster of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games), and Paris 2024’s unwavering ambition for this once-in-a-lifetime event to raise the bar in terms of popular engagement: a shared logo, a venue map built in parallel as the Olympic Games map, and more, will make these Games truly
unforgettable.
95% of the sporting infrastructure that the Paris 2024 Games needs is
already in place, or temporary infrastructure can and will be used. The
only facilities newly built for the Games will, in the long term, serve the
needs of the localities and their residents.
Thus, the Paris 2024 Games will leave a legacy in Seine-Saint-Denis
which includes: 4000 units of accommodation, some twenty new
swimming pools that will be used for local population, and a further
twenty local facilities renovated.
