Champ de Mars Arena

PARA_Paris2024_Look the the Games_ArenaCDM

During the Paris 2024 Games, the prestigious Champ de Mars Arena will become far more than just the “Grand Palais Éphémère” (the name by which the arena is currently known) as the 10,000 sqm temporary building will host Olympic events while work is carried out on Grand Palais. In 2024, following the completion of this work, the Champ de Mars Arena will be kept in place for a few more months to host competitions for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Designed by architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte, the arena’s timber structure, with its harmonious curves and aesthetics reflecting the Grand Palais, was built on the Champ de Mars at the start of 2021 opposite the École Militaire (a complex of buildings in Paris that house various military training facilities) and blends seamlessly into the urban landscape. Thanks to its use of sustainable materials and the building’s structure, this project is fully aligned with the environmental standards required by Paris 2024.

Created to host the art, fashion and sports events usually organised in the Nave while the Grand Palais is being renovated, it will also be the stage for cultural events initiated by the Réunion des Musées Nationaux – Grand Palais.

Legacy

This temporary facility will be dismantled in late 2024, and as such no trace of the Olympic or Paralympic Games will remain. It will be able to be reused with multiple configurations at another location that is still to be determined.
