This summer, from June 27 to August 11, the Beaugrenelle shopping center is bringing the Olympic festivities to life in a whole new way, with a popular program combining art and sport.
There's no escaping it: this summer in Paris, the Olympic Games are everywhere! Such an event has inspired many designers, much to our delight. The Beaugrenelle shopping center, located in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, is offering us a very special event, mixing sport, art and music, from June 27 to August 11, 2024.
Discover Made in Paris, an original cultural event that allows us to experience the Olympics in a different way. For the duration of the Games, various artists and sportsmen and women come to liven up the shopping center, and artistic installations are exhibited, such as the great Arc de Triomphe revisited by street-artist Jo Di Bona, who brings color to this emblematic monument of the capital.
Between two shopping sessions, take advantage of the cultural events at Made in Paris, and let yourself be carried away by the festive atmosphere of the Olympic Games at Beaugrenelle.
