The Paris 2024 Olympic Games opening ceremony will take place in Paris on July 26th. Impacts are expected during the setup phase on the docks starting from June, and then during the activation of the security perimeter starting from Thursday, July 18th.

The opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games is scheduled for July 26th, taking place from 7:30 PM to 11:15 PM along the Seine.

The ceremony will take place along the Seine, from East to West, between the Austerlitz Bridge and the Iéna Bridge, concluding in front of the Trocadéro.

The blue zones

Access for motor vehicles is regulated and subject to restrictions. Our drivers will be equipped with access permits to facilitate parcel collections and deliveries.

The red zones

Situated in central Paris, these zones will remain restricted throughout the duration of the games. Unless specific exemptions are granted, motor vehicles will not be permitted. Consequently, our subsidiaries Chronopost and DPD France will utilise cargo bikes or pedestrian route for parcel delivery.

The grey zones

Only individuals possessing a ticket and vehicles accredited by Paris 2024, and subject to verification of credentials, will be granted access to these perimeters.
