Paris 2024 Olympics: a departure dance in Paris airports, for travelers, on these dates

Paris Charles-de-Gaulle and Orly airports extend the euphoria of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games! From August 12 to 14, then on September 9 and 10, 2024, choreographer Mourad Merzouki is orchestrating a final festive wink - based on hip-hop, contemporary dance and Olympic movements - for departing travelers.

Once the Olympic flame has been extinguished, Paris won't be letting down the curtain on the spirit of the Games! In a final nod to the competition, Charles-de-Gaulle and Orly airports become the stages for a unique show from August 12 to 14, and again on September 9 and 10, 2024. Two troupes of hip-hop dancers, led by talented choreographer Mourad Merzouki, will set the boarding lobbies alight to prolong the euphoria of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, among departing travelers.

Merzouki has concocted a choreography where hip-hop meets contemporary dance movements, embellished with gestures inspired by Olympic sports - a boxing upercut here, a basketball dribble there. All this in shimmering outfits, a patchwork of delegation flags, designed by designers from the Goutte d'Or district.

With 230,000 passengers expected at Roissy and 110,000 at Orly, this farewell dance is a tribute to the creativity and camaraderie of the Games. A festive interlude which, far from simply saluting the athletes, will convey to every traveller the energy, joy and unity that have made Paris vibrate throughout this Olympic adventure.
