Thousands of French people will be able to gather together in this huge space on theTrocadero esplanade, between the Palais de Chaillot and the Eiffel Tower! The athletes will parade in a real crowd bath, the day after their exploits, just like when they returned from the Tokyo Games, but life-size. From July 29 to August 10, 2024 (except August 2 to 4), from 4pm to 11:30pm, the Champions Park will be able to accommodate almost 13,000 people a day.

Without replacing the medal ceremony, this special moment between the athletes and their public will be a real celebration. It will also be possible to watch the finals on the giant screens set up on the Trocadéro, to vibrate together under the colors of France, and to enjoy a fine artistic program!

Every day, the Parc des Champions opens at 4pm (except August 9 and 10 at 12pm), with a DJ set as a welcome, before enjoying an opening show at 5:30pm, the celebration of medal-winning athletes at 5:45pm, and then the live broadcast of the grand finals from 7pm to 11pm, a chance to see those you'll be welcoming on site the following day.
