Paris 2024 is the successful bid to bring the Games of theXXXIII Olympiad and theXVII Paralympic Games, to theFrench capital city.[1] Paris formally announced its intention to bid on 23 June 2015 – the date on which Olympic Day is globally celebrated. Following withdrawals in the2024 Summer Olympics bidding process that led to just two candidate cities (Los Angeles and Paris), the IOC announced that the2028 Summer Olympics would be awarded at the same time as the 2024 Games. After Los Angeles agreed on 31 July 2017 to host the 2028 Games, Paris was the only candidate city left in the bidding process for the 2024 Games. It was officially announced at the IOC Session inLima, Peru.
Paris previously hosted the1900 Summer Olympics and the1924 Summer Olympics. Paris will be the second city (after London) to host the Olympic Games three times. Of note, 2024 marked the 100th anniversary of 1924 Summer Olympics, as well as thefirst Olympic Winter Games in Chamonix.[2] On July 31, 2017, it was announced that rival bidder Los Angeles would host in 2028, effectively giving Paris the 2024 games.[3]
The Olympic Games were originally proposed to be held from 2 to 18 August 2024; while the Paralympic Games were proposed to be held from 4 to 15 September 2024. Due to a strategic issue, in February 2018, both the IOC and the organizers agreed to bring the Games forward by a week for logistical reasons.[4]
The venues are situated mainly in Paris. They also include Saint-Denis, Le Bourget, the Stade Olympique Yves-du-Manoir in Colombes, a centrepiece of the 1924 games, Vaires-sur-Marne, Versailles and a 600-kilometre (370 mi) venue for sailing in Marseille.[5] Environmental concerns are taken into account, as there will be nine temporary venues and only three new ones in a total of forty – 95% of venues are existing or temporary.[6]
Château de Versailles — Equestrian, modern pentathlon, 22,500 (dressage, jumping, modern pentathlon in temporary stadium), 40,000 (temporary circuit in the garden)
Marseille Chanot Exhibition Park – Satellite Olympic Village for football (also teams playing elsewhere than Lille, Nantes or Paris) and sailing athletes

The bid was heavily promoted during the2017 Tour de France. Members of the bid team assisted in presenting the yellow jersey to the race leader after each day's stage, and during the final day in Paris the riders rode through the Grand Palais (site of the fencing and taekwondo events) en route to the final laps on the Champs-Élysées. Additionally, during stage 12 from Pau to Peyragudes, a special marker was placed at kilometer 2024 overall in the race to promote the bid.[7]
