Join us for the 2024 Paris Olympics!

The Olympics rings as bicycle wheels

Fri, Jul 26, 2024 – Sun, Aug 11, 2024

The Olympic Games make their way to Paris in 2024! Officially, the XXXIII Olympiad will take place from July 26 – August 11, and the Paralympics from Aug 28 – Sep 8. This will be the third time Paris has hosted the summer Olympic games; first in 1900, and again in 1924, making it the second city to be a three-time Olympic host (after London).

The 2024 Paris Summer Olympic Games feature 32 sports encompassing 329 events. Of those, 4 are brand new to the games: breaking, sport climbing, skateboarding, surfing.

Above is a video by our friend, Jay Swanson, with a comprehensive guide on how to navigate Paris during the Olympics!

Paris 2024 Olympics Questions

Will your bike tours be operating as normal?

We will be open for the whole of the Olympic Games. On some days we may not be able to take our usual route, but we are working hard to make sure we use alternative routes where you can still enjoy the city whilst soaking up the atmosphere of the city during this exciting time. Bikes will have much more freedom than cars and we intend to capitalize on that!

Will I need a QR code to access the meeting point for my tour?

During the Olympics period, you do not need a specific QR code to get to our office.  Only drivers (cars, buses) will need the special Game Pass QR codes. We advise avoiding cars: taxi’s, Uber’s, Lyft’s, etc. The metro, walking, or biking will be the easiest way to reach your tour meeting point. If asked for verification by the authorities, you can show your tour confirmation with the meeting point address listed.

The Paris Olympics Committee and the mayor are advising and promoting the public transport system during this period. Cars and buses are strictly limited during this period and the QRs for them will be only for emergency/special circumstance vehicles (or locals living and parking in the zones normally).

Can I still buy tickets for the Olympics?

You can definitely try! There are still tickets available on the official Olympics website here. Bon courage!

Can we get a taxi to your office?

It will be almost impossible to access our office by car from July 13-September 9. We advise taking the metro. Please allow extra time to ensure you arrive on time.

Can we get a taxi to our hotel?

Yes, you can, but you will need to show confirmation of your reservation if your hotel is in a restricted zone. Be aware you could be trapped in traffic coming from the airport and confirm prices in advance with your driver.
