The Olympic Village has been a staple of the Games since Paris 1924 - but it's come a long, long way since then.
Understandably, the complex has extremely high-security. But while it might be impossible to get inside during Paris 2024, we can give you a sneak peek of what the Olympic Village will be like during the Games.The Paris 2024 Olympic Village was designed in collaboration with athletes from all over the world, who put forward their own ideas and requirements.
The 3,500-seater main dining hall will be a key part of athlete life in the Olympic Village. Around 40,000 meals a day are expected to be prepared during the Games, based on four themes – French, Asian, African-Caribbean and world cuisine. One-third of the 500 recipes made will be vegetarian.
There will be specific training venues for fencing, modern pentathlon, wrestling, weightlifting, basketball and breaking, while the Village Club will allow athletes to relax, socialise and watch coverage of the Games. Athletes with a fast-food craving will have to journey off-site to get their fix, too, with no McDonald's in the village this time.
Meanwhile, the football tournament is set to be held in six cities alongside Paris – Bordeaux, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes, Nice and Saint-Etienne. Hotel accommodation has been found in each of these cities for the players.The Olympic Village has been built to be as sustainable and environmentally friendly as possible, meeting Paris 2024’s ambition to be a low-carbon Games.
