The village, spanning 70 football pitches, will open its doors to athletes on Wednesday, August 21, 2024, and offers various amenities, including a large refectory, sports hall, training fields, polyclinic, prayer rooms, and anti-doping center.
Accessibility is a top priority, with features like ramps, micromobility services, and adaptable dining facilities.
“All the Paralympic village is already prepared,” said Laurent Michaud, Director of the Olympic and Paralympic Villages.
“So to welcome the athletes Paralympic, before we created the Olympic Village. So all the public spaces are ready to welcome them, because it was made also for the legacy for after the Games.”
