While we still don't know where the Olympic rings will end up and whether the cauldron will remain in the capital, we already know the fate of some of the infrastructure for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games ! And it's the Seine-Saint-Denis département that stands to benefit the most, taking over the Olympic pool at the Paris La Défense Arena and the skateboard modules at the Parc Urbain de la Concorde!
Provided for in the Games' legacy program, the pool is scheduled to move to Sevran, and will benefit young people in the département, in which many can't swim due to a lack of sports facilities, by the end of 2024.
