Uncover the Grand Stages of Paris

 

La Concorde

Located in the heart of Paris, Place de la Concorde is one of the city’s most iconic squares, known for its rich history and stunning architecture. Originally designed in 1755 by Ange-Jacques Gabriel, the square has been the site of many significant historical events and is surrounded by landmarks such as the Hôtel de Crillon, the French Naval Ministry, and the Tuileries Garden.

For the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, La Concorde will be temporarily transformed into an open arena to host several urban sports events. The square will feature a temporary setup to accommodate sports such as breaking, skateboarding (street and park), BMX freestyle, and 3X3 basketball. This transformation aligns with Paris 2024’s vision of integrating urban sports into the city’s natural environment, away from traditional stadiums, creating a dynamic and accessible space for both athletes and spectators.
