The third largest park in the Paris region, Georges-Valbon is a 410-hectare jewel of greenery, and Europe's only Natura 2000 site in an urban environment. Inaugurated with the hosting of the Olympic Torch Relay during an exceptional evening on Thursday, July 25, 2024, the eve of the opening ceremony of the Games, the site will be open for 17 days and is intended to be participatory. 6 exceptional evenings will feature national and international musical artists, while an 80m-high skyliner will give you a bird's eye view of the venue.
On the last weekend of the Paralympic Games, you can watch the start of the Para-Marathon and Mass Event, before the site closes. The Saint-Denis Canal will also be the scene of many festivities, linking Club France at La Villette, the Stade de France and the Olympic Aquatic Centre.
