Barely over, already missed: the Games are barely over and we're already missing them. So, to counter this post-Olympic Paris 2024 depression, we've put together our survival kit to help you live a little longer through this magical time.

It's already been almost a week since the Paralympic fervor died down in Paris, after the last farewells to the athletes who thrilled us, at the Closing Ceremony of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. So, after a month and a half of festivities, thrilling all over Paris and the Île-de-France region, running from fanzone to fanzone, congratulating our French medallists at Club France, thrilling with the Games volunteers on the events... But "normal" life has returned and the magic of sport has gradually evaporated from our daily lives. So, if you still want to experience the spirit of the 2024 Olympics, there are still a few activities, addresses or sounds that will immerse you in this incredible atmosphere, one last time.

See the Parade of Champions

It's the official end of these Olympic and Paralympic Games for the French: so, before each athlete goes back to training for good, the French Paralympic and Olympic Committee is once again highlighting our medallists, athletes and sportsmen and women who competed under the French flag at these historic Games. Join us on the Champs-Elysées this Saturday, September 14, to bid farewell to our beloved French athletes, before we meet them again at the next Championships and Games in Los Angeles, in 2028.

Streamer Parade, THE hit of the Games

We heard it everywhere: at Club France, at the Parc des Champions, on France televisions all day if you were following the events live, at the Olympic venues during each podium... Parade is inevitably the hit that marked and, above all, punctuated the Paris 2024 Games. Composed by Victor le Maisne, the track has been available since September 13, 2024, 00:01, on all music streaming platforms.

Dive into the heart of the Games

Long before the 2024 Olympics kicked off, Jules and Gédéon Naudet filmed a documentary mini-series for France Télévisions, retracing the route of the flame, the first torchbearers, behind-the-scenes preparations at Olympic venues, the final details of the opening ceremony with Thomas Jolly.... In short, this mini-series is an opportunity to plunge into the heart of the Games - as the name implies - and immerse yourself in the extraordinary event that turned Paris into a veritable party this summer.

Also on France TV, it's possible to watch again the various replays of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. And that's something we definitely can't get enough of. By the way
