A summer 2024, the Parisian sites called upon to host the events of the Olympic and Paralympic Games will be fully interconnected thanks to the mobilization of the existing cycle network in the capital and through the creation of new paths by the planetary deadline.

Further west, the Trocadéro (16th) and the Eiffel Tower (7th) – with the temporary stadium et Arena Champ-de-Mars (ephemeral Grand Palais) – will also be accessible, as will the Stade Roland Garros and the Parc des Princes (16th). It will be the same in the north for Porte de la Chapelle Arena (18th) which will also be connected to the cycle network of the department of Seine-Saint-Denis.
But if this device – unveiled last February by the City of Paris – focuses mainly on the axes intra-muralthe connection of the sites of the Paris 2024 Games will also be possible throughout the Ile-de-France region, with the exception, however, of the Paris-Nord Arena (Villepinte Exhibition Center, Seine-Saint-Denis).
In fact, the Minister of Sports and the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, and the Minister in charge of Transport, Clément Beaune, today presented the Olympic cycling network at the end of the 5th Strategic Mobility Committee of the Games. .
Meeting at the headquarters of the Paris 2024 Organizing Committee (COJO), the said Strategic Committee has thus protected no less than 415 kilometers of cycle paths and secure routes, whether in Paris or in the neighboring departments where sites are located. which will host the competitions next year, while bicycle parking facilities near these sites will complete the system by 2024.
As Clément Beaune said on Tuesday, June 13, 2023:
On transport, we are moving forward and we will be ready.
This fifth Strategic Committee has made it possible to record a major success with the validation of the Games cycle route map. […]
With protected routes and possible parking on arrival at each site, we can say that the Paris Games will be the first cycling Games in history.
This is a step forward that will help anchor the practice of cycling, including for the holding of major events..
Beyond the issue of cycling, the 5th Games Mobility Strategy Committee looked into other major issues, including the urban crossing Pleyel in Seine-Saint-Denisthe project EOLEor the extension of metro line 14whose opening to Orly in the south will be possible in June 2024, as announced earlier this week by the President of the Île-de-France Region, also President of Île-de-France Mobilités, Valérie Pécresse.
With local elected officials, government services, operators, companies, associations and of course the OCOG, the Committee also examined the subject of transport accessibility.
In this, the RATP – whose President is none other than the former Prime Minister, previously Interministerial Delegate in charge of the Games (DIJOP), Jean Castex – presented its action plan aimed at improving the sound and visual accessibility of the historic metro.
On another point, the plan “1,000 accessible taxis” was unveiled, the aim here being to multiply by five the number of Parisian taxis accessible to people with reduced mobility, with the announced delivery of the first adapted vehicles from autumn 2023.
The studies of the public transport plan for the service of the west of Paris were finally presented, with in particular the implementation of a bus shuttle from Porte Dauphine (16th) in order to increase the service capacities of the sites.
