This May 13, 2024, at precisely 8 p.m., a critically important alert was sent to the cell phones of those present within the Olympic security perimeter. The alert, sent by the French Ministry of the Interior and Overseas Territories, concerned the implementation of a strict security perimeter for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, scheduled for July 18-26, 2024.

This Monday, those present in the security perimeter that will be set up for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games were surprised to receive an " extremely serious alert " message, displayed directly on their phone. Phew, more fear than harm. The message was followed by a simple reminder to download a free QR code pass, which is required to travel during the Olympic Games.

According to the message, to ensure everyone's safety, access to the areas along the Seine where the ceremony will take place will be restricted from July 18. This measure will affect residents, employees, shopkeepers and hotel and restaurant guests in the area.
