Paris 2024 Paralympic Games: the Encore is just a month away!

The Olympic Games craze has taken hold in France. And it's not going to let up any time soon, as the Paralympic Games kick off in just over a month's time. We can't wait!

They're missing nothing - except you!

With just over a month to go before the start of the Paralympic Games, we'd like to take this opportunity to remind you that the party's going to go on for a long time this summer. Until September 8 to be precise, when the Stade de France will host a Closing Ceremony that promises to stir the emotions. In the meantime, let's enjoy the joy of the French delegation and the achievements of our international athletes, first at the Olympics, then at the Paralympics.

Didn't manage to secure a place at the Olympic Games? Don't panic! The Paralympic Games open their doors to you from August 28, for 10 days that promise to be just as crazy. The milestone of one million Paralympic tickets sold or allocated has already been passed, but we're not stopping there. Pumped up by the results of Les Bleus, let's prolong the pleasure by supporting the French Paralympic team in its exploits!

I'm taking my tickets!

Paris 2024 has thought of everything! Its online ticketing service is already available, with tickets starting at €15 for Para athletics at the Stade de France, wheelchair tennis at Roland-Garros, Cécifoot at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, and Para swimming at the Paris La Défense Arena. In its desire to open up the Games, Paris 2024 has chosen to maintain prices accessible to all, giving access to the biggest finals from €25. The Paralympic Games will be resolutely positioned as an accessible, family-friendly event.

A group ticketing service for associations, school and leisure groups, sports clubs, BDE / BDS as well as CSE and social welfare organizations also offers the possibility of attending many Paralympic events. The group offer is accessible via a dedicated platform at billetterie-groupes@paris2024.org.

Highlights are already in the diaries: Marie Patouillet in Para track cycling on August 29 at the Vélodrome national de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines; Alex Portal and Ugo Didier in Para swimming on August 29, 31 and September 3 at Paris La Défense Arena in Nanterre, Pauline Déroulède in Wheelchair Tennis from August 30 at Roland-Garros ; Lucas Mazur in Para badminton on September 2 at the Arena La Chapelle; Arnaud Assoumani in Para athletics on September 4 at the Stade de France; the French Cécifoot team from September 1, with the final on September 7 at the Eiffel Tower stadium... and many more!

All in all, 4,400 para-athletes, 185 delegations and no fewer than 549 events await us for historic moments of jubilation and sport. Let's make the most of it by getting involved, because the athletes need our help to reach for the stars!

A historic first

For the first time, the Paralympic Games Opening Ceremony will take place outside a stadium. More precisely, it will be held in the very heart of the capital, from the Champs-Elysées to the Place de la Concorde. For the occasion, Paris will be transformed into a gigantic para-sports field.

The Encore

For the return match, the ambition will be identical! Same emblems, same medals, same Team France. We'll be able to capitalize on the excitement generated by the Olympic Games with the same passion, our eyes riveted on these para-athletes from all over the world. For our Bleus, the mission will be to do even better than in Tokyo by improving their position in the final rankings. Titles to defend, revenges to take, hopes to confirm and, no doubt, some wonderful surprises and stories to tell are on the program of the Paralympic Games to be followed from August 29 to September 8.

To make this celebration of para-sport even more special, the most beautiful monuments in Paris have been chosen to host the athletes' performances. Paris will truly be the nerve center of the Paralympic Games.
