Several temporary competition venues have been set up by Paris 2024 in the heart of Paris to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Here's everything you need to know about their dismantling, although dates are subject to change as operations progress.
The Olympic and Paralympic Games have given pride of place to a number of emblematic sites in the capital to host the ceremonies and events. The security perimeters around these sites have now been deactivated and, following the model of the assembly of these temporary sites, their dismantling by Paris 2024 is currently taking place with a progressive phasing in order to free up the spaces as quickly as possible.
Here are the details of dismantling by site planned by Paris 2024

Dismantling details by site

Zone Concorde

  • From August 29 to October: gradual release of the right-of-way on Place de la Concorde, with partial reopening to traffic from early September:
  • August 29: Dismantling begins the day after the Paralympic opening ceremony.
  • September 13: reopening of Concorde station on line 12, originally scheduled for September 21 (lines 1 and 8 reopened on September 2).
