Description

In the first two communes, an area of 80 ha (around 110 football pitches) is being completely restructured: new schools are already operational and the construction of a new sports park in Le Bourget will be completed for the Games.

A wooden footbridge, currently being finished, will link this sports park to Dugny, where the media village is well advanced and will become a new part of the town after 2024. Until we can use it, we'll be approaching this huge 1300-home site via the departmental road 50, which is itself in the process of being upgraded.

Finally, in La Courneuve, the 13 hectares of former polluted land will be planted and integrated into the Parc Georges Valbon, 4 km away from the starting point and a 15-minute walk from the T11 tramway. We'll finish our walk here, where the largest fan zone in the Ile-de-France region will be built!

These walks around the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games are designed and guided by tour guides Valeria Pitchouguina and Tristan Bayle. They receive financial support from the departmental council of Seine-Saint-Denis.
